A Blue Art has been issued for this guy:
Officials are searching for a man accused of shooting a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper Friday near Mexia.
Law enforcement officials are searching for 37-year-old DeArthur Pinson Jr., in the shooting, which happened near U.S. Highway 84 west of Mexia in Limestone County, about 81 miles southeast of Dallas, according to the DPS.
The Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association identified that wounded trooper as Chad Walker, a husband and father of four.
Walker was taken in critical condition to Baylor Scott and White Medical Center Hillcrest in Waco.
The blue alert describes him as a 37 year old, 220 pound black male, 6 feet tall, facial hair, wearing a black hoodie and shorts with a stripe down the sides. “Considered armed and dangerous.”

If you’re in Texas, keep a lookout…

Lawrence, thanks for this post. Mexia is actually East of Waco, south of Corsicana. Probably just a typo. Of course, if that perp has any brain at all he’s nowhere near there any more.
Prayers for Trooper Walker and his family.

Any bets the shooter has a really, really long rap sheet. It would be interesting to see what he was hiding and why he shot the officer. At least he had the grace to rid the world of one more cockroach by shooting himself.
