I don't see a thread about this but I heard about it otherwise and thought I'd post it here, just so that Texan forumers can check in if they want, and to express our sorrows at what happened.

thank goodness the semester hasn't started yet or it could have been a lot worse
I don't know if you've ever been to C-Stat, but everywhere is "near" A&M University. And I doubt a crazy fucker who shoots a constable for serviwarangal eviction notice was interested in shooting up the campus.
Anyway, I hope they killed the fucking gunman.
wounded by the police, died in custody
It's in the first paragraph.
But I assure you, Barrakketh, your post was as redundant as my question.
Because Solar answered it for me.
Thoughts and prayers to the victims.
A poke in the moral cortex of the media that they don't turn it into a circus.
Typically police are responding to crimes where they don't already have someone on hand.
So yeah, probably a faster than normal response time.
Dude, there are murders all the time everywhere.
I am not saying at all that this isn't a really shitty thing that happened.
But this is not some killing spree some asshole decided to go on, just taking out random people.
This was some piece of shit who didn't like the fact that he was getting evicted and responded with lethal force. I feel like these are entirely different things.
They are. But the timing(relatively recent after past events) and response(police) is going to generate that kind of reaction.
