Details are still rolling in - multiple injuries, one confirmed dead (reportedly an officer, by campus news reporting).

*sighs*

That is the first I've heard about a confirmed death.


IronBrig4, check in please.

Getting a little closer to home these days. Yikes.

Yep, second confirmation of the officer's death.[DOUBLEPOST=1344887327][/DOUBLEPOST]Suspect is dead and two others. One of those is a Constable. According to KBTX's Facebook page.

Yeah, I'm fine. The shooting wasn't on campus, but at a busy intersection (near the baseball diamond) several blocks away from where I was at the time. I was busy with my preliminary exams and didn't hear anything about it until my Mom called.

Rumor mill says it was an eviction gone bad.

Well that was in poor taste.

Rumor mill the constables were there to serve papers. He was a parolee with a gun and shot indiscriminately into the street.

Now I'm hearing the serving papers version too, with apparently an alleged eyewitness saying the constable who was killed was shot 5 times, and another report of the female civilian victim having been hit in the shoulder and is out of surgery and stable.

Constables handle evictions. So it is a little of column A & B.

The whole suspect in custody headline lasting for over an hour before pronouncing him dead, has me raising an eyebrow.

You thinking the suspect fell down some stairs onto some bullets?

No, I think they took him to jail for fingerprints after shooting him.

Technically, killing the suspect counts as apprehending him... I mean, he IS in custody... just not able to complain about it.

Aaand there it is. Kiss my ass, Charlie. It's considered an apprehension - I was not being facetious.

I believe it doesn't even affect his Miranda rights - he does get to remain silent.

I'm not disagreeing with your police knowledge, there's no dislike button for mocking someone getting killed by the police, no matter how "deserving"

Wasn't mocking.

And how about the innocent civilian, or the freakin' constable killed whilst serving eviction papers?

Direct your heart's blood elsewhere - it's wasted on that filth.

Charlie, the same guy that said we shouldn't have killed Saddam or Bin Laden, is the one you're asking not to bleeding heart?

What can I say - I always try and reason with folks, first. I'm funny, that way.

I'd say it's great to have people like you serving as police officers, but then again I hear that you're all corrupt, baby-eating murderers who live only to oppress minorities... so it's kind of a wash.

And my heart does bleed for the innocent victims. That's why I wish Obama would go door to door in Texas and take everyone's guns.

I can think of no better way to get the President to not support gun control.

...wait, was that not what you meant?
