East Texans Involved in Kaufman Wal-Mart Shooting

KAUFMAN (AP/Staff) – Authorities say one person was killed and the gunman wounded in a shooting inside a Kaufman Wal-Mart store, and both were from Henderson County. Kaufman police say 55-year-old Donald Ray Coleman shot 59-year-old Wal-Mart employee John Morgan multiple times Tuesday morning in the garden center of the store. Coleman, who then shot himself in the head, is hospitalized in critical condition. Police Capt. Ed Black says the men had an ongoing dispute over Coleman’s estranged wife, who it’s believed Morgan was seeing. Both men were from Gun Barrel City, located about 25 miles southeast of Kaufman. The store was evacuated and no other injuries were reported. Kaufman County sheriff’s Capt. Fred Klingelberger initially said the gunman died but later said police subsequently told him the gunman survived.
