BRUCEVILLE-EDDY, Texas (AP)-
Authorities from multiple law enforcement agencies are combing the area around a remote Central Texas television studio where a morning meteorologist was shot in a parking lot after an argument.
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 victim, on-air meteorologist Patrick Crawford, backed his car away from the shooter and drove up to a highway construction crew that called 911.
The shooter fled. No motive has been released. Authorities are using dogs in their search for the shooter.
Crawford underwent surgery at a Temple hospital. His condition wasn’t immediately released.
Managers of the NBC affiliate for the Waco-Temple-Killeen area didn’t immediately return messages.
