There has been another shooting, this time on the Texas A&M campus. According to KBTX, the suspect is in custody. At least one police officer has been shot, and there is one confirmed victim at St. Joseph Hospital, who may or may not be the injured officer. There is no word on her condition.
The total number of injured is unknown, and there are no confirmed fatalities. Which doesn't mean, unfortunately, that there are no fatalities. [ETA. Unfortunately, there are fatalities. See update(s) below.]
My thoughts are with those on the campus and in the surrounding area. I'm so sorry.
I'll update if/when additional information becomes available.
