Ricci Bradden,
22, a U.S. Army private stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, has been
charged with murder in the Monday killing of Anthony Antell, 35,
a gym owner who had served in the U.S. Marine Corps. The
incident took place outside a Walgreens drugstore in Arlington,
west of Dallas.
Bradden said he knocked Antell's gun from his hand and then shot
him, a police report said.
Before that, Bradden is suspected of shooting his wife,
22-year-old Quinisha Johnson, a Walgreens employee, in the
store's parking lot. She was struck in the ankle and went inside
the store to call for help, the report said.
Antell, a father of three and local CrossFit gym owner,
witnessed the shooting and retrieved his hand gun from his
vehicle before confronting the suspect.
He told the suspect to drop his weapon and was shot, the report
said. Antell died at the scene and his wife witnessed the
killing, it said.
Bradden drove away then confessed to his Army supervisors, and
they persuaded him to surrender to authorities in another
county, investigators said.
