T&P. Great response by UT and APD. Sounds like only casualty is the gunmen.

Police confirmed an armed suspect in the Perry Castenada Library at 21st and Speedway on the University of Texas campus.

The event began just after 8:30 Tuesday morning. Officials say the suspect has an A-K-47. The suspect is now believed dead. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo reports that one person is dead from a self-inflicted injury.

EMS reports they are not treating anyone for injuries.

UT police have used a siren system to tell students there is an emergency situation on campus and to stay indoors.

Prepare for the liberal meltdown on assault weapons to add a little more fuel to their fire.

One gunman confirmed dead. Apparently shot himself. Searching for possible second gunman.

Since nobody important has been reported as hurt yet. I will make fun of this situation.

They should ban guns on that campus.....

From what I'm hearing it sounds like the guy had plenty of opportunities to kill people and chose not to. One student called in and said the gunman ran by him and just smiled and waved. Another witness said he was shouting, "Wohooo!!" as he ran with the gun. Kind of sounds like he just wanted to kill himself and maybe scare some people in the process??

Not funny. If this was our campus, and a sip said this, we'd be pissed.

I would at least hold the jokes until we know for sure if there is a second gunman. Actually, I'd hold the jokes completely, but that's just me.

They're continuing to sound the alarm on campus and police have just evacuated a lot of students from part of the campus. I'm not sure if that's a safety precaution or they think there's another shooter.

Sounds like that guy just wanted to go out with some flair. Instead, he's just going out like an extreme A-hole.

He's entitled to his opinion, no need to run and tell mommy every time someone makes an unpopular post.

You only perpetuate a joke made in poor taste by responding (even negatively) to it.

I'm just glad this apparently deranged person didn't take some innocents with him.

Gun safety is no accident.

Sounds like it's a done deal. They just held a press conference.

- One gunman killed himself.
- No shots fired by law enforcement.
- No 3rd party injuries that they're aware of.
- Reports of possible second gunman.
- Police and SWAT continue to search for second gunman, but only to eliminate the possibility. They don't think a second gunman exists.
- t-sips don't have to go to class today.

I hope they don't find anything else on campus; ie bombs or something.

Thank the lord that no one else was hurt!

Why are we T & Ping this POS that did this today?

There are facebook pages dedicated for Condolences to the UT community. NOBODY died except the person that started it by offing himself. The UT community has lost a nutjob. Give him no credit. I am tired of these types of people. There. Rant Over.

I'm with Fall Guy.

I understand the T&P when it sounded like a gunman was on the loose and we didn't know the outcome.

Now that things are clear, no one else was hurt, move on. Let the university address the safety concerns.

I was getting ripped on the football and other board for saying what I wrote. I have no sympathy for nutcases.
