Shooting in Texas

Rico's father used to work at College Station, so Josh Voorhees' Slate article hits a little close to home (yes, yes, it always depends on whose ox is being gored):

Three people were killed after a gunman exchanged fire with police near Texas A&M University's College Station campus. The dead included: the shooter, a police constable, and a civilian. Local police said that a handful of others had been taken to the hospital for treatment, including at least one other law enforcement official.
NBC News reports that both the shooter and the civilian have not yet been identified, but that the slain Brazos County police constable was 41-year-old Brian Bachmann.
Texas A&M posted an alert on its website at 12:29 local time, warning the community that an "active shooter" was near the university's football stadium, Kyle Field (photo). Fifteen minutes later, the school announced that the suspected gunman had been taken into custody but nonetheless instructed people to avoid the area. A police spokesman later told reporters that the suspect was injured in a gun battle with police.
Local news outlets The Eagle and KBTX-TV reported that at least one other law enforcement official was shot. Details about the civilians injured in the shooting remains scarce, although reports suggest that a total of five people were transported to the College Station Medical Center, three of whom had sustained gunshot wounds of some kind.
From The Eagle, more details on the afternoon shooting:

The incident appears to have unfolded about 12:15 p.m. at a house in the historical district of the city close to George Bush Drive. The Eagle's police scanner early on picked up dispatchers saying that two officers were wounded. Initial reports state one was a constable. Authorities confirmed that the suspect was in custody; it wasn't clear if gunfire was exchanged.

At an afternoon news conference, police said that the gunman had opened fire with an automatic weapon from inside a house.

Rico says that, fortunately, his father didn't hang out near the stadium, but the local PD should've shot the shit out of the guy...
