Officials: Texas gunman was a student, acted alone (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iqKYHplFiw9NPeUAs65Ya4kdgHGwD9IH335G1?docId= D9IH335G1)

A man wearing dark clothes and a ski mask opened fire with an assault rifle Tuesday morning inside a University of Texas library, then fatally shot himself in the head.

Police said they believe the gunman was a student who acted alone, killing himself on the sixth floor of the library.

Officials have ruled out the possibility of a second shooter. The initial confusion was because the suspect fired shots in multiple locations, campus police Chief Robert Dahlstrom said.

The university issued an all clear notice by the early afternoon, adding on its emergency information website that the school remains closed and that the area around the Perry-Castenada Library was still an active crime scene.

"We anticipate campus being completely open and back to normal" by Wednesday morning, Austin police Chief Art Acevedo said.

John R. Lott, Jr., author of the controversial and statistically rigorous book More Guns, Less Crime is coming to UT campus next Tuesday, September 28 at 6 pm. The Libertarian Longhorns and students for Concealed Carry on Campus are bringing him here.

This is a great opportunity to educate ourselves about the crime statistics concerning gun ownership, as well as to educate gun control advocates and hopefully win them over to our side.

Too Weird. Not that I pretend to understand a psycopath, But that is too weird.

Why conceal your identity if suicide is intended?
Opportunity to shoot many, but did not. Only shot himself.

Very very weird.

I'm sure many psychopaths are simply not very bright.

Actually, "high functioning" psychopaths are usually quite intelligent.

The "idiots" are the guys who gun down a liquor store clerk because they got nervous and jumpy while holding up the joint.

Does the term Manchurian Candidate mean anything?
or do you believe that is fiction?

Coincidence? perhaps

Yeah, is a very weird story... The librarian says he just shot at nothing...

I think the guy planned to do some killing, chickened out so just shot out of frustration, didn't want to face consequences etc... so then offed himself...

If the librarian had been allowed to have a gun, the shooter wouldn't have killed himself...

Why the 6th floor of the library I wonder? The 6th floor of the book depository is where Lee Harvey Oswald chose to shoot from also (que the creepy music).

The shooter today killed himself in Austin.

I can only assume the shooter didn't see the signs. I propose buying more signs.

I hope they do not cost as much as those recovery act signs , they will have to raise tuition to pay for them .
