Texas A&M University Shooting Leaves Three Dead
by Hilton Hater at .A shooting at Texas A&M University in College Station today has left three people dead, with the alleged killer - an unidentified man in his 30s - among them.
Scott McCollum, assistant chief with the College Station police department, confirms that one of the deceased is 41-year old Brian Bachmann, a constable in Brazos County.
"He was a pillar in this community, and it's sad and tragic that we've lost him today," McCollum told reporters.
The incident took place a few blocks from the school's campus. Officials report that four others suffered injuries in the shootout, including three law enforcement officers. None of those injuries are considered life-threatening.
McCollum said police received a call around 12:10 p.m. from "a citizen" who reported shots fired in a residential area just south of Texas A&M. The constable had reportedly gone to a residence there to deliver an eviction notice.A Code Maroon was subsequently issued, warning pedestrians to stay away from the area in question because an "active shooter" was on the loose.
At that point, approximately 12:29 p.m., cops arrived to find the constable's body in the yard of a home.
They "received fire from the suspect inside ... took cover and defended themselves," McCollum said. "They ended up shooting the gunman."
The third victim is an unidentified 65-year old male who has simply been described as a "civilian bystander."

Let me guess, Ken the Cannuck...you're mission is to distract from the real issues Americans are facing and trying to deal with...right?!? Like folks here in the USA--wake up every morning thinking, "Gosh, if only there was a foreigner north of our borders that could guide us with his ingenious reasoning on how we should live down here. Ohhhhh...if only!" Bottom line: Nobody cares what you think. How many ways can we make this clear to you, Maple Leaf Ken??
I'm from Canada and fully aware that we are not exempt from Shoot outs and senseless deaths. But one thing I don't understand is I think the 1st amendment where you have the right to bear arms? It seems really easy to gain access to firearms and the media always highlights gun shootings do it seems like there are quite a lot in America. Why aren't there stricter gun regulations that don't infringe on the 1st amendment rights but still protect the innocent civilian population? I think the idea "guns don't kill people, people kill people" is stupid. You give a crazy person a gun and say don't kill with it? That's f'ed up!
Ken1, aren't there any Canadian gossip sites you can troll?
How about a little respect for the victims and their families. Rest in peace. @Ken, everytime Justin Biebers opens his mouth it must make you feel so proud.
What the hell is going on????
