Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...
Aug. 1st 1966: Armed citizens kept a shooter pinned down so that Police and an Armed Pharmacist could approach the subject and stop him. The Location was the UT Tower.
Sep 28, 2010: A cab driver that called in a shooter to 911 reported that the subject he saw was armed with a handgun, no mention of an AK type rifle. This may be the reason that police suspect a second shooter, however one female subject reported that a second shooter was seen on the 3rd floor of PCL after the the first shooter killed himself.

How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...
Conflicting descriptions of the shooter. Unknown if there is a second suspect.

Cant believe this is happened on my old stomping ground. Of all places, the PCL? Hope they find the second shooter if there is one.

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...
All 3 local Austin TV stations covering non-stop. Press conference now.
KVUE-ABC had interview with woman who said she heard FIFTEEN shots 5 - 5 - 5 sequence and saw shooter OUTSIDE library with a "large assault weapon". She turned and ran, fearing he would shoot her in back.

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...
Sounds like the search for "second suspect" is just matter of routine, some reports of second suspect but nothing definitive (just following up on all reports) but SWAT is sweeping whole area as matter of course.
Also Austin police chief just confirmed some shots WERE fired outside and the weapon was an AK-47

Re: Shots fired at UT Campus...
Yeah it's kinda funny, read it on twitter, then an hour later the TV news Press releases from officials confirm wearing all black, AK-47 and alll ... now they are discussing the black suit/Tuxedo+ski mask 1st shooter versus Black Tee-shirt +Beanie hat second suspect may be the same person with conflicting descriptions, but they'll still clear all buildings routine

It's a new age we live in. I kinda realized it when cops stormed that plane at JFK a few weeks ago. CNN was following tweets from a passenger on the plane... pictures and all... Amazing huh?RPB wrote:Yeah it's kinda funny, read it on twitter, then an hour later the TV news Press releases from officials confirm wearing all black, AK-47 and alll ... now they are discussing the black suit/Tuxedo+ski mask 1st shooter versus Black Tee-shirt +Beanie hat second suspect may be the same person with conflicting descriptions, but they'll still clear all buildings routine
