Default Shootings at Texas A&M

http://rt.com/usa/news/texas-campus-...asualties-590/

A number of people, both civilians and police officers, have been injured after shots were fired outside a Texas A&M University campus.

It is not yet clear how many people were injured in the shooting, but local media are reporting that the gunman has been taken into custody.

Earlier reports also suggested that the shooter was firing automatic weapons from inside a house close to the campus.

A Code Maroon warning was posted on the A&M website, warning students to stay away from the area.

Just talked to some friends there. Word is that the police showed up to serve an arrest warrant and someone started firing automatic weapons from the house. Six people shot, two of them cops and several have pretty critical injuries.

Excellent approach, new mod. Well done!

I've got a prayer on my desk. It says, "Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure."
