Family members are still trying to cope with the news that their loved on was fatally shot at his job in Katy.

The company says they will have counselors on hand this morning to help those co-workers who saw everything play out.

Marion Guy Williams allegedly entered the business carrying two guns. Employees say he appeared to be on a mission.

Williams was a former employee fired from the trucking company last month.

"He said, 'You ruined my life,'" one employee tells Eyewitness News.

The 65-year-old gunman's sister says she received a text message from him before the shooting. It simply read, "I'm sorry we didn't get along."

As you can imagine, Dawid's family is still in shock. His brother-in-law said Dawid was always smiling, a great father and a loving husband.
