Police apprehended a 19-year-old student accused of fatally shooting a Texas Tech University police officer at the campus police station on Monday night.
Police apprehended a 19-year-old student accused of fatally shooting a Texas Tech University police officer at the campus police station on Monday night.
University officials issued an alert, saying the suspect was taken into custody and that the campus lockdown order had been lifted.
In an earlier statement, the university identified the suspect as Hollis Daniels.
University spokesman Chris Cook said that campus police made a student welfare check on Monday evening and, upon entering the room, found evidence of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Officers then brought the suspect to the police station for standard debriefing.
While at the station, Cook said the suspect pulled out a gun and shot an officer in the head, killing him. The suspect then fled on foot before being apprehended a short time later.
Texas Tech officials initially issued a lockdown alert to students on social media, urging those on campus "to take shelter in a safe location."
Additional information was not immediately available.
A SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team responded to support clearing buildings.
Earlier this month, around 60 people were killed in a mass shooting incident near the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas.  Sheriff of Las Vegas Police said that he was able to prevent several deaths in that mass shooting incident due to insight from the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks .

It also said Trump's Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was heard calling his boss a "moron" after the meeting. On Wednesday, Trump complained in a tweet that the report was "pure fiction, meant to demean
