BRYAN, TX -- The murder trial of the man who is charged with last year’s mass shooting at Kent Moore Cabinets in Bryan was postponed.

Larry Bollin, the man charged in the mass shooting, will undergo further psychological testing. Jury selection was originally intended to start on July 11.

One person was killed and five others injured during an April 7, 2021, shooting at Kent Moore Cabinets' (number 96 on the FDMC 300) Texas manufacturing plant.  

The suspect is Larry Bollin who was apprehended 30 miles from the cabinet plant in the small town of Iola, police said. One police officer was shot while in pursuit. A handgun was reportedly the weapon used.

Local news station, KBTX News, reported that witnesses said the shootings appeared to have been targeted.

At the time, Kent Moore Cabinets issued the following statement:

"We are devastated by the events today at our Bryan manufacturing facility located on Stone City Drive. Our hearts go out to the families and the loved ones of those affected. We want to thank the many members of our law enforcement teams and other emergency personnel who responded so quickly. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement during the investigation of this horrible crime. We ask that you respect the privacy of the family members of those who were involved. Right now, our focus is on providing support to and prayers for our employees and the extended Kent Moore Cabinets family during this tragic time."

Kent Moore is one of Texas' largest privately-owned cabinet operations, employing more than 600 staff in two manufacturing plants in Bryan. More than 4,000 cabinets are made every week at the company's 300,000-square-foot plant. The company's cabinets are only available in Texas and are not sold through distributors or dealers.
