Two law enforcement officials identified the suspect as 45-year-old Michael Marx, who holds a Texas driver’s license. He remained hospitalized Tuesday with multiple gunshot wounds, including to his back and leg, and his injuries are not considered life threatening, according to two law enforcement sources.
