Self-Defense Claimed In Another Lufkin Shooting

Update: Suspected shooter has had no charges filed and was released after questioning. The shooting remains under investigation.

A Lufkin man suffered a gunshot wound to the arm first thing this morning. Not the way you want to start the week.

Monday at 10:30 AM, first shift responders were fresh and ready for the call at an apartment complex in the 3200 block of Daniel McCall Drive. The shooting likely occurred in the apartment complex listed at that address.

Authorities do not usually specify exactly where crimes take place.
