ENNIS, Texas — A man suspected of fatally shooting three people in Henderson County early Friday was hospitalized after he crashed into the Buc-ee's in Ennis, injuring a pedestrian, and shot himself, officials say.
Henderson County deputies tell WFAA that Christopher Kyle Reid Jr., 29, of Hubbard, is suspected of fatally shooting three people at a home in the Cedar Creek Cove subdivision in Mabank before 2:30 a.m. The three who were shot weren't identified.
Later Friday morning, officials allege Reid drove a 2003 Dodge Caravan into the southwest entrance of the Buc-ee's in Ennis around 5 a.m., hitting and pinning a pedestrian against a sales display as the vehicle entered the building.
After the vehicle came to a stop, Reid shot himself in the head and was taken to a hospital with critical injuries, according to Ennis police. His current condition is unclear as of noon, Henderson County spokesperson Megan Hogan told our sister station KYTX.
The pedestrian, an Oklahoma woman in her 30s, was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police say. No other injuries were reported.
The Ennis Police Department declined to release further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
"We are grateful to the Ennis Police Officers, Ellis County Sheriff’s Deputies, Department of Public Safety Officers, Ennis Fire Department, Allegiance Emergency Services, and the staff at Buc-ee's for their quick response to this tragic and shocking event," Ennis police said in a statement. "We are deeply saddened by this incident and stand with all those involved as our community heals."
He’s been having kind of a bad day, it seems.
Well at least they have clean restrooms............
I’m glad it wasn’t at the Bucee’s where I was today
“Reid shot himself in the head and was taken to a hospital with critical injuries...”
More Bucky Nuggets for ME!

The brisket sandwich is to die for.
“Christopher Kyle Reid”
you know what Rayan Givens says about guys with three first names ...
On a side note, I went to Buc-ee’s for the first time last week on my way home to AZ after my Caribbean cruise from Galveston. The uber driver made a pit stop for us so we could experience it…and Holy Cow, it was impressive! Apparently we’re getting our first Buc-ee’s in Goodyear, Arizona, in the next yr or so, which will be fun.
