COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M University says a shooter has been taken into custody near its campus in College Station.

College Station police spokeswoman Rhonda Seaton tells CNN multiple people have been shot, including law enforcement, but she doesn't know the extent of the injuries. Multiple calls to Seaton's cellphone from The Associated Press have gone straight to voicemail.

The university issued an alert on its website just before 12:30 p.m. Monday warning of an active shooter near the campus football stadium, Kyle Field. The warning tells residents and students to avoid the area.

Seaton says the shooting happened within a block or two of campus sometime before 12:45 p.m. She says police have one suspect in custody.

College Station lies about 90 miles northwest of Houston.

were the shots on campus grounds? Since it's Texas I would assume they allow CC on campus?
 
Apparently one police officer and the gunman? are dead. Doesn't seem to have had anything to do with the uiversity. Probably an eviction thing. This from CNN.

I love how the media immediately tied it to a college just because it was close to a college...

First headline: College Shooting: Gunshots at Texas A&M!
Second headline: Multiple Shooting Victims at Texas A&M
Third headline: Shooting Near Texas A&M
Forth headline: 3 Killed Near Texas A&M, Officers Shot

Your headline: Yet Another Campus Shooting...

As others have mentioned, it doesn't appear the shooting was on campus, just nearby. RIF.

Yep...fortunately, NOT on campus.

Looks like it was an attempted eviction. We had a similar incident here this past spring. 3 dead including the shooter...and they burned down a 4-plex trying to get him out.

Fortunately...it was not on the college campus. If you can't see the difference, I probably can't explain it to you.

(unarmed college kids and teachers vs. armed police officers serving eviction)
