This is what NBCNews has:

usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/13/13261291-police-officers-among-multiple-casualties-as-gunman-opens-fire-near-texas-am-campus?lite

Looks like it was a couple blocks away from campus?

They have the gunman in custody.

2 officers shot, no word on the extent of injuries that I can see yet.

Police scanner traffic said that a mass casualty situation has been declared. Occurred near the football field, suspect is in custody.

2 officers shot, so not a mass casualty event. Glad they already have the shooter in custody and with it being between summer & fall terms, most people are not on campus.

[MrsAggie]

It says 6 people were shot including 2 officers.

1 officer is dead. It was in a neighborhood a few blocks from campus.

H is a member of the AggieYell site and on their board a guy who says he's an officer in a nearby department was told 3 were killed. The news is still just reporting 1 though.

[flipflopsandwine]

Apparently the guy who says he is an officer nearby came back and 2 not 3 deaths.. 1 officer and 1 civilian. So sad.

[MrsAggie]

1 police officer and 1 civilian dead. 1 more in surgery. The police were there to serve an eviction notice...

I really hate people sometimes.

So I hardly think its relevent that the building it was near "houses the Library of George Bush" wtf care..

Campus officials issued an alert to faculty and students for an "active shooter" two blocks southeast of the university, which houses the library of former President George W. Bush.

Umm...perfect timing to mention A&M has a library. Especially since its nowhere near the shooting.
