Former Wife of Oil Patch Shooting Victim Reacts

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The former wife of a Texas man who was shot and killed at an oil patch crew camp in North Dakota says he was a race car driver and once donated a kidney to his sister. Gerald Schild, 57, of Katy died on Saturday at the crew camp near Tioga. Police have arrested Victor Scott Lamont, 24, of Lufkin in the shooting, which also injured a man from Arkansas. Lamont has been charged with murder and attempted murder and two counts of terrorizing.

Authorities say all three worked for a Wisconsin-based pipeline company. Schild’s former wife, Cindy Adams, of Houston, tells the Williston Herald that Gerald Schild was well-liked in his community and that a racetrack plans to dedicate a race to him on Aug. 18. Authorities have not released details about the circumstances of the shooting.
