No one knows at this point, it’s still an active situation. The man, 50 - 60 years old, is still barracaded within the building. Channel 11 (CBS) is not giving much information at this time.

Police Conference: 2 shots were fired. Witness said he did see the Perp with a weapon earlier.

Barracaded in a room. No communication (that they are telling us) established with Perp, but they are trying to establish communications with him.

No confirmation that Perp is even still alive.

Object of first 2 shots, unknown. Shots were after Perp had entered building.

No known motive.

Negotiators have been unsuccessful in establishing communications with Perp. Perp may be refusing any comm attempts.

From the press conf-

-an employee of NASA is a witness to seeing the man with a gun- 2-3 shots were “heard”.
-No one knows if all NASA employees of #44 are accounted for..no one knows if anyone is injured.
- No one knows if the gunman is dead or alive, they are still attempting to set up communication with him...

Everyone seems to forget that all the Texas laws are made right here in the Big Blue Heart of Red State Texas.

Don't even get me started on the idiocy of a FEDERAL ban on it's employees carrying personal arms.

What should have happened in this instance is this idiot walking into the room, ordering everyone out and gun point, and getting ventilated by 3-4 armed employees...

Cuts down on recidivism and court costs as well.

Furthermore...we also need to know what his childhood issues are, and if he has been under the care of a psychiatrist, what is his marital status, is his mortgage payment late...

Make sure to line up his parents, siblings, any other distant relatives, college roommates, professors, previous coworkers. I am sure we can get to the “bottom” of this in 30 minutes.

Modern age is amazing, and scary. We want everything tidy within a 2 hour movie format.
