Authorities were searching for a gunman after a TV meteorologist was shot multiple times during an altercation Wednesday in a Central Texas TV station's parking lot.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says the shooting occurred around 9:15 a.m. Wednesday outside KCEN-TV's rural studio on Interstate 35 near Bruceville-Eddy, 75 miles north of Austin.
The station website reports the suspect exchanged words with the victim, on-air meteorologist Patrick Crawford, before pulling out a handgun and shooting several times. Crawford backed his car away from the shooter and drove up to a highway construction crew that called 911. Jim Hice, the station's news director, says Crawford was wounded in the shoulder and the abdomen.
The shooter fled the scene and police have not yet determined a possible motive.

Ok. Lame joke. Sorry.
Hope the gunman can be found and locked away.
Do we know if Mr. Crawford irritated local liberals with a “denier” position regarding Climate Change?
If he wasn’t schtooping someone’s wife/girlfriend, this may be a primary consideration given the current stressed political atmosphere of CACA (please see my tagline...)
Statistically, this would be a likely cause.
Word!
Troof!
Today’s forecast is partly cloudy with a 100% chance of lead
Woof!
Woof!
He used to be the weatherman at 40/29 in NW Arkansas.
Talk about doing it wrong.
This was obviously a crime involving “extreme” passion on the part of the shooter.
Sounds like the shootee jilted the shootER!
