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 .

Irked by report, Donald Trump asks: When is it appropriate to challenge news networks' licenses? Trump was unhappy with a report that said he told the US' "highest-ranking national security leaders" that he wanted "what amounted to a nearly tenfold increase" in America's nuclear arsenal. US President Donald Trump  asked when it would be "appropriate" to challenge the licenses of American media outlets like the network NBC, which he accused of carrying a fake story about him. Quoting three sources,  the NBC report in question  said Trump told the US' "highest-ranking national security leaders" that he wanted "what amounted to a nearly tenfold increase" in America's nuclear arsenal. 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...

US flies bombers over Korea as Trump discusses options SEOUL/WASHINGTON: The US military flew two strategic bombers over the Korean peninsula in a show of force late on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump met top defence officials to discuss how to respond to any threat from North Korea. Tensions have soared between the United States and North Korea following a series of weapons tests by  Pyongyang and a string of increasingly bellicose exchanges between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. North Korea has launched two missiles over Japan and conducted its sixth nuclear test in recent weeks as it fast advances towards its goal of developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland. The two US Air Force B-1B bombers were joined by two  F-15K fighters  from the South Korean military after leaving their base in Guam, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement on Wednesday. After entering South Korean airspace, the two bombers ca...

Las Vegas shooting: FBI, cops seek help in uncovering gunman Stephen Paddock's motive After five days of scouring the life of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock and chasing 1,000 leads, investigators confessed Friday they still don't know what drove him to mass murder, and they announced plans to put up billboards appealing for the public's help. Investigators have examined Paddock's politics, his finances, any possible radicalization and his social behavior - typical investigative avenues that have helped uncover the motive in past shootings. "We still do not have a clear motive or reason why," Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said. "We have looked at literally everything." The FBI announced that billboards would go up around the city asking anyone with information to phone 800-CALL-FBI. "If you know something, say something," said Aaron Rouse, agent in charge of the Las Vegas FBI office. ...
