COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Police say at least one law enforcement officer, one civilian, and the gunman have been killed in a shooting near Texas A&M University's campus.
Assistant Chief Scott McCollum says the gunman was shot Monday before being taken into custody.
He says a College Station police officer and another woman also were injured in the shooting.
The university issued an alert just before 12:30 p.m. warning of an active shooter near the campus football stadium, Kyle Field. The warning told residents and students to avoid the area, and was later updated with the shooter taken into custody.
College Station Police spokeswoman Rhonda Seaton told The Dallas Morning News that law enforcement officers are among "multiple injuries" at the scene, which she says is within a block or two of campus.
Texas A&M spokeswoman Sherylon Carroll could not confirm any injuries or details about the shooting, but said most students were not on campus Monday and the fall semester does not begin until August 27.
"It appeared to be fairly quiet," Carroll said of campus. "It didn't appear to be a lot of people out and about at that particular time."
College Station is about 90 miles northwest of Houston. Texas A&M is home to more than 50,000 students, according to its website.
