According to a post on the Leon County Sheriff's Facebook page, at 12:04 p.m., the sheriff's office received a 911 call from Woody’s Smokehouse in reference to shots being fired inside the business.

Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputies/Investigators along with Department of Public Safety Troopers responded to the location. Surveillance video shows a suspect, later identified as Kevin Craig Anderson from Houston Texas, entering the business in a harassing manner.

While inside, Kevin Anderson aggressively approached several customers inside the store and then proceeded to walk into the restroom. Subsequent investigation revealed that once inside the restroom, Kevin Anderson began assaulting an elderly male knocking him unconscious onto the tile floor and continued assaulting him.
A Licensed to Carry Holder attempted to intervene the assault on the unconscious victim. The License to Carry Holder was then assaulted by Kevin Anderson, knocking him to the floor and continuing to assault him. At which time the License to Carry Holder fired two rounds, striking Kevin Anderson once in the right arm. Kevin Anderson then fled from the restroom, exited the business and fled the scene in his vehicle.
Kevin Anderson was located parked on the shoulder of IH-45, near the 174 mile-marker. He was transported by helicopter to St. Joseph E.R. in Bryan and then later transported to Hermann Memorial Hospital in Houston to be treated for his injuries.
One victim was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.

All parties involved were not citizens of Leon County. This case is under investigation and being investigated by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Rangers
