AUSTIN (AP) - A Houston woman seriously wounded this week when a man began shooting at a Brazos County constable trying to serve eviction-related court papers is improving.
Friends of 51-year-old Barbara Holdsworth posted Friday on a website devoted to her recovery that she remains in intensive care but is awake at times, off life support and able to interact with family and hospital staff.
Holdsworth was helping her daughter move into a house in the neighborhood close to the Texas A&M campus Monday when she was shot twice.
Three College Station police officers also were injured in the attack that killed Constable Brian Bachmann and another man, 51-year-old Chris Northcliff. Northcliff was checking on some property nearby.
Bachmann's funeral is Saturday.
The gunman, 35-year-old Thomas Caffall III, was killed by police.
