DALLAS — A man who
opened fire outside a Dallas
County courtroom Tuesday, shoot
ing his estranged wife and a teen
age bystander, has died from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting was the second in
six months in a Metroplex court
house, renewing concerns over se
curity measures in public build-
ings.
A Parkland Memorial Hospital
official confirmed late Tuesday
that the accused gunman. Van
Huynh, 30, died from his injuries.
His wife, Ly Dang, 26, remained in
critical condition at Parkland
Memorial Hospital with single
gunshots to the head late Tuesday
afternoon, said spokeswoman
Michelle Raglon.
Parkland would not release the
time of Huynh's death or other
details.
Man shoots wife, teenage bystander,
himself in second Metroplex incident
Rogelio Gutierrez, 16, was up
graded to good condition late
Tuesday with a gunshot wound to
the left leg.
Officials and witnesses said the
man approached the woman in
the hallway outside the 304th state
District Court about 9:30 a.m.
"I was sitting outside the court
room at the juvenile court," said
Robin Presley. "I heard a shot and
I looked to my right. I heard an
other one so I didn't know
whether this person was shooting
at someone or if he was just run
ning through shooting."
Added Presley's husband, Don,
"He just came out of nowhere.
There were attorneys sitting
around talking with people about
their cases.
"All the sudden you just heard
a gunshot. I kind of turned and
looked to see what it was. Then
you heard two more gunshots,
and everybody was running," he
said.
Sheriff's Lt. Larry Forsyth said
the couple were on Tuesday's
docket for a custody hearing
when the shooting broke out. Li
Dang's family members say that
she had been seeking protection
and that Huynh had a history of
violence.
But Sheriff's spokesman Jim
Ewell later said authorities were
unsure about the nature of their
case.
"The guy just walked out in the
hallway and shot his wife in the
head," Forsyth said. The gunman
used a .38-caliber revolver, he
said.
Forsyth added that about 25
people were in the hallway out
side District Judge Hal Gaither's
courtroom.
"I went immediately and
locked the courtroom door and
herded everybody into the jury
room," Gaither said. "Then I went
through the back way to see if any
of my staff were injured. I saw this
young man limping down the
hall. I brought him into the court
room."
Security in the George Allen
Courts Building, near the John F.
Kennedy Memorial, is light. The
only security measure in Gaither's
sixth-floor juvenile court when the
shooting began was one bailiff,
said Esquibel.
Following the shooting judges
closed and left their offices to
protest lax security. Signs were
posted on doors informing citi
zens that they would return when
proper security would be provid
ed.

Cultures clash at colossal super collider
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS— Cultures are colliding at the site
of a giant atom smasher, with Russians learn
ing about quirks of Texas culture as well as
quarks and other subatomic particles.
A team of about 30 Russian scientists and
engineers are working at the $8.25 billion su
per collider. Seven Russian laboratories have
signed agreements to construct or design parts
of the project south of Dallas.
The United States government recently
signed a formal agreement with the Russians,
designed to make cooperation easier and save
$200 million in collider costs.
But it's still hard for Russians to adjust to
living in the Lone Star State.
The scientists and their families welcome the
abundant food in this country — but aren't
sure what to make of guacamole and other
dishes.
"It's an acquired taste," quipped Tonya Mit-
seJmakher, whose husband is a physicist at the
superconducting super collider.
But physicists from both countries have al
ready learned how to share information —
even during the tense Cold War-era 1960s.
"Even when relations on the politics (were)
not good, cooperation in physics was steady,"
Victor Yarba, deputy director at the Institute
for High Energy Physics in Protvino, told The
Dallas Morning News.
Yarba is spending a sabbatical year at the
SSC project, helping to design the second-
largest ring of underground magnets. Since
English is the international language for scien
tists, communication has not been a problem.
"I found here an interesting job, interesting
field. . . . What I need is paper and pen and my
brain, so I did not notice radical changes," said
Gennady Stupakov, a physicist from Novosi
birsk, Siberia.
Scientists and their families said they're en
joying Texas. "My wife even likes Texas
weather," said Stupakov.
"She doesn't like cold, and Siberia —
Novosibirsk — is certainly cold."
Other wives have had a harder time adjust
ing to life in Texas, said Gail Heilbrunn, hospi
tality chairwoman of the Collider's Women's
Association.
Spouses of visiting scientists are prohibited
by immigration laws from working unless they
have been invited to posts at the collider. For
eign wives know little or no English and many
do not drive.
"If you're in new country and you don't
know very simple things, and you don't know
how to decide this problem, it's hard and
makes you tense," said Stupakov's wife, Maya,
who taught music in Russia.
Other wives gave up jobs in education, engi
neering and other fields to make the move to
the Waxahachie area, which the 54-mile under
ground collider tunnel will encircle.
Valery Mejidzade, an engineer from Novosi
birsk, said all the Russians are sending part of
their salaries — paid in U.S. currency instead
of unstable rubles — home to help relatives.
