UT shooting

Bill Powers, President of the University of Texas canceled classes today after the university was closed, when the man went to the Perry-Castaneda Library and apparently shot himself killed.Because of the conflicting descriptions of the man and what his weapon, the university was shut down as police search for a possible second gunman."The armed suspect is dead." No other injuries were reported, "Powers said in an e-mail to students."I want you to know that the university remained closed. All students, faculty, staff and visitors should stay and continue to follow the instructions (the speaker, e-mail, text messages and uniformed police officers). You will be notified if the situation is stable.

There were no reports of accidents or injuries, spokesman for UT Thurs Hale said by telephone."There was a shooter on campus this morning." He went to the Perry-Castaneda Library. He died, apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, "said Hale.The Associated Press reported that the UT police said they also searched for a possible second suspect.The incident happened 8:00 to 8:30, Hale said."He did not shoot anybody, as far as we know," he said. "He went to the library, they said on the sixth floor of the library and shot himself."Hale, the campus lockdown was part of a system in which the community has warned sirens, text messages and the Internet."If something like this happens, we have a campus system that goes. Sirens go away, and a loudspeaker announcement is made, the university that people stay in place, and they remain in the buildings in this situation is that now," said Hale.
