but it was two Austin police officers who finally made their way onto the Texas Tower observation deck and shot Whitman.
I believe it was ONE policeman and one armed civilian who cornered Whitman.
They had two incidents in as many days.
“TULSA, Okla. (UPI) — A woman shot two intruders breaking into her Tulsa, Okla., home killing one and critically wounding another, police officials say.
Thursday’s alleged home invasion — in which the woman shot Darreon Carter, 18, and Daniel Holman, 23 — was Tulsa’s second such incident in as many days, the Tulsa World reported Friday.
Police Capt. Travis Yates said the woman — whose name was not reported — was walking back to her Brighton Park apartment about 3:50 a.m. after going to a fast-food restaurant when Carter and Holman allegedly forced their way inside, demanding money.
The woman cooperated until one alleged intruder told her to undress, when she pulled a revolver from her purse and shot him, the newspaper said.
“We believe that this was totally an opportunity crime,” Yates said. “Somebody saw a woman walking up to an apartment, and they decided to commit a crime, and here we are.”
Carter and Holman — who were both shot in the head — were found by police in the apartment’s entryway and taken to St. Francis Hospital, where Carter died. Holman was in critical condition with bullet wounds to his head and stomach, the World reported.”
There are no “accidents” when gunmen on campus are involved.
We know who was targeted!
Prayers for all to be safe!
Update: Person who apparently prompted Texas A&M alert is detained, source says - NBC
Yes I believe you are right. I remember watching the movie they made about this as well, and remember seeing a cop and armed civillian going up the tower at the end.
Just now on local news..5:04..no one detained at this time.
Thank God!
Wonder if HIS name is Mohammed or Tariq or Fazal or Abdul. You know the typical amish names.
see post 62, it happened twice in two days.

USABreakingNews (Texas A&M Update) NBC News- Person who was reportedly carrying AK-47-style rifle and prompted a campus-wide alert has been detained.
I think it’s funny that the Glock is in the AK-47 column
What nutcase decides deer season at A&M is the time or the place to cause problems? The Marines and rednecks will have this dude dancing like a marionette they’ll be pumping so many rounds in him.
DOH!
