Eizember is in a Texas hospital recovering from four gunshot wounds that came from a gun concealed by one of his alleged kidnapping victims. Authorities with the Angelina County Sheriff's Department say they received a 911 call at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday night. The caller said a man and woman, now identified as Dr. Samuel Peebles and his wife Suzanne, came to his residence bleeding and needing help. The couple told the man they had stopped to help a stranded motorist in Arkansas and that he had displayed a gun and forced them to drive south. The Peebles did not know the man was Eizember. While driving through Angelina County, the Peebles convinced Eizember to allow them to use the restroom. That's when an altercation ensued between Dr. Peebles and Eizember at which point Eizember was shot four times. Dr. Peebles had been able to recover a handgun that was concealed in the minivan. Eizember assaulted both Samuel and Suzanne Peebles before taking off in their van. He attempted to get help for his wounds at a grocery store, but an employee of the store called the Corrigan, Texas police department to report a man with gunshot wounds and carrying a weapon inside the store. Authorities from Corrigan and Polk County were able to get a description of the minivan and eventually stopped Eizember, who told them he had been shot by an unknown assailant while his vehicle was stopped along the road. Officers contacted paramedics, who treated Eizember at the scene. A pistol discovered by police was confiscated. Eizember was transported to Memorial Hospital in Lufkin where he was treated for his wounds. It was at this point that it was learned of Eizember's identity and what had really happened. The Peebles were transported to Lufkin Hospital where they are in stable condition. It brings an end to the more than five week manhunt for Eizember, who faces two counts of first degree murder in the October 18th shooting deaths of A.J. and Patsy Cantrell of Depew. He also faces one charge of shooting with intent to kill in the shooting of Tyler Montgomery and a charge of assault and battery with a deadly weapon in the beating of Montgomery's grandmother, Carla Wright. An intense, three-week manhunt ended on November sixth when a thorough search of a wooded area near Bristow turned up nothing. Then, Sunday morning, an elderly Depew woman discovered a man believed to be Eizember at a food pantry near the First Methodist Church. In her rush to escape, she left her keys in the door and her car was stolen. It's believed Eizember took the vehicle and went east into Arkansas, where he kidnapped Dr. Samuel and Suzanne Peebles near Waldron, about 35 miles southeast of Fort Smith. At about 2:30, Creek County authorities say Kathy Biggs, Eizember's ex-girlfriend, received a frantic phone call from a woman who said she was with Eizember and that he was coming to get Biggs. Police began tracing the phone calls, but before they could locate him, the shooting in Texas had taken place. Creek County authorities are expected to go to Lufkin, Texas today.

Re: Serial killer - period
Yeah, I love it when the authorities turn these serial killers into "bad guys" and start charging them for things like osteoperosis and onsetting senility...

Hold the phone
I've missed the argument, but in America, aren't you innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?
Eizember is not yet convicted. Thus, he is not a serial killer, only an alleged serial killer. Of course, it's not practical to try him as he's waving a gun in your face, you can only simply shoot. They don't have witness boxes 6 ft. underground. Given the practical necessity of defending yourself with force, in the face of extreme danger, as opposed to the theoretical ideal of negotiating a peaceful settlement...
