LONGVIEW -– A father-son argument may have led to a shooting that left a Longview man hospitalized in serious condition Friday. The suspected shooter is still on the loose and being sought by investigators. Donnie McCray, 51, remained at Good Shepherd Medical Center where he was taken with life-threatening injuries after the Thursday night shooting in his home in the 200 block of Young Street. Police said he may have been shot by his 15-year-old son, who remained at large late Friday.
According to Longview police, witnesses said McCray was arguing with his son in a bedroom when they heard a single gunshot. They said McCray stumbled down the hallway, saying he’d been shot. The 15-year-old suspect, who has not been identified, left the scene before police arrived. Police said investigators later found a rifle they believed to be the weapon used in the shooting.
Officers were dispatched to the South Longview address about 9:15 p.m. Thursday. Anyone with information about the shooting may anonymously call Gregg County Crimestoppers at (903) 236-7867 or submit a tip online at http://www.greggcountycrimestoppers.org.
