[mysteriew]

The woman who police say was shot and run over with a truck by her father in front of a Texas courthouse had accused both her father and her uncle of sexually assaulting her, authorities told ABC News Thursday.

Bartholomew Granger, 41, was scheduled to appear in a Beaumont, Texas, court Wednesday afternoon and his 20-year-old daughter was expected to continue her testimony against him that she began Tuesday in his sexual assault trial, police said.

The gunman police say went on a shooting spree outside a Texas courthouse this week had become increasingly frustrated by sexual misconduct charges his daughter lodged against him and two of his brothers, and he was so convinced of his innocence he rejected a plea deal that would have kept him out of prison, records and interviews revealed.

Maness said security cameras show accused gunman Bartholomew Granger arriving at the courthouse before the doors opened, roughly four or five hours before the shootings, which killed one person and injured three others. Cameras also show Granger entering the courthouse and going through a security line.

Trial begins in fatal Texas courthouse shooting
By MICHAEL GRACZYK, Associated Press | April 21, 2013 | Updated: April 21, 2013 1:03pm

Even Bartholomew Granger's attorneys acknowledge there's no question he is responsible for opening fire last year outside a Southeast Texas courthouse, fatally shooting a bystander in a failed attempt to kill his daughter who had accused him of sexual assault.

When opening statements begin Monday in Granger's capital murder trial, his defense team's goal appears to be keeping the 42-year-old Houston man from being sent to death row.

Minnie Ray Sebolt, 79, a bystander from nearby Deweyville, was caught in the crossfire and killed as she tried to run to the courthouse while others under attack dropped to the ground. Law enforcement officers returned fire.

Granger fired more shots from his truck, hitting his daughter three times then running her over as he fled.

-------------------------------------

Granger's daughter was seriously hurt. The other surviving victims had less serious injuries.

----------------------------------------

A judge declared a mistrial in his sexual misconduct case one month after the shootings due to heightened attention following the attacks.
