Eddie Eugene Ulrich, a 40-year-old supervisor at the Western Transfer Company, was shot to death on August 9, 1982, in Grand Prairie, Texas. Ulrich was one of six people killed that morning during a daylight shooting spree in the central business district carried out by 49-year-old truck driver John Felton Parish. Parish entered the Western Transfer Company to confront Ulrich over a pay dispute; when the discussion failed to resolve the issue Parish opened fire, killing Ulrich and two coworkers, Martin Douglas Moran, 30, and Moody Charles Smith, 58.

Parish then continued to other targets in the area, killing Wyvonne Kohler, 45, at the GM International Inc. office and Dave Bahl and Rick Svoboda at the Jewel T warehouse, and wounding several others before being killed by police after a high-speed chase and shootout. Reports note Parish had no prior criminal record and that financial and personal stressors preceded the attack. Does anyone have information about Ulrich’s life or the Western Transfer Company that could shed light on what happened that day?
