CULLMAN — The surviving victim of an Addison shooting that left two dead remains hospitalized in fair condition Wednesday night, according to a spokesperson for the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center.

Kerry Anders suffered multiple injuries from a .22 caliber rifle Monday afternoon in an incident that has shocked the small community.

According to reports, Hoyt Anders and his son Kerry were working at Anders Body Shop on Highway 41 in Addison when Hoyt’s brother, Mark Anders, burst into the business with a .22 rifle and began shooting.

Winston County coroner Larry Gilliland said Hoyt died from numerous gunshot wounds, while Mark died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Gilliland pronounced both Hoyt, 55, and Mark, 48, dead at the scene.

Though severely wounded in the shooting, Kerry fled to a nearby building to place a 911 call. He was airlifted to UAB for surgery, according to family members.

Funeral arrangements for Hoyt Anders are being handled by Nichols Funeral Home in Addison. Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Addison Church of God.

Funeral arrangements for Mark Anders are incomplete and will be announced at a later time.
