Law enforcement officers responded to a shots fired call, only to be fired upon by the home owner. They returned fire in defense, and called for more officers. SWAT responded eventually killing the shooter, during the thirty minute shoot out.
During the shooting Constable Brian Bachmann and a sixty-five year old male bystander were killed. Three or four people were injured, including two other officers and a fifty-five year old female bystander, who is in surgery. The thirty-five year old shooter was shot during the gun fight, and died of his wounds at the hospital.
Police are now confident that there was only one shooter, and have ended the search they had announced earlier. Texas A & M, has lifted it's "crimson alert" and ceased warning people away from the campus.
At this time, authorities are uncertain why Bachmann, 41, an elected official, was on the scene. Unconfirmed reports have him there serving an eviction notice, but assistant police chief Scott McCollum could not confirm them. As county constable an eviction notice would have been under his duties though.
