Maybe the second shooter shot the first shooter. It is Texas so somebody could conceivably be packing but it might be illegal on campus to have a handgun even if you have a CCL.

First shooter killed himself. Police are looking for the 2nd guy. No innocents hurt at this time.

In Texas, we have a Concealed Handgun License, i.e. CHL, and the regulations expressly forbid carry within any educational building.

Since persons holding a CHL have had thorough background checks (meeting even stricter standards than police recruits), it is safe to assume they were following the law and thus the nearest defensive weapon is probably, at best, locked in somebody's vehicle.

Student reporting he heard 4 shots and students started running. Then heard 2 more shots. Student claimed the shooter came past him and smiled at him.

It is, per federal and state law.

Idiot lawmakers.

In Texas it's called a CHL, Concealed Handgun license. I have one.

My daughter, a grad student at U Texas, sent me a text saying she was not on campus this AM and not to worry. Couldn't figure out what the hell she was talking about. Then the other daughter's husband called and told us what was going on. Wondered it my wife was going near campus today. She's not, but she is going to Austin, to visit granddaughter's kinder teacher with an offer of assistance. (Wife is chair of education department at small college north of Dallas.). Other daughter works somewhat south of the UT campus.
