A suspected gunman fired shots inside a library at the University of Texas at Austin on Tuesday morning before shooting himself, university spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon told CNN.
The gunman died, Weldon said. No one else was hurt.
On its Facebook page, the university police said they were searching for a possible second suspect.
Weldon said it was not known whether that second suspect was armed.
Students and others on campus were advised to remain indoors with their doors locked.
It's about time, CNN, that you actually paid attention to this.......
seems like all the other media outlets were on this hours ago,
Wow, the top story right now is that 1000 mexicans are feared tropes in landslide....I would imagine that Americas news would be our first concern
Criminals have a government guarantee their victims will be unarmed on campus. The law only stops law abiding citizens, not criminals, from having guns on campus. Legally this guy was not supposed to have a gun on campus. Yet he had one anyway. People who have a concealed handgun license in Texas legally cannot take their guns on campus, guess what, they don't b/c they're law abiding citizens. So the law only keeps the good guys from having guns on campus. Thanks politicians for things worse for us.
the shooter was already dead - CNN doesnt like to cover stories that do not cause you fear
If they cant make you afraid of something – the news media does not really care about it
irnoically Texas is currently debating whether or not concealed handguns being allowed on campus. Curious as to how this unfortunate event will impact the debate.
@anonymous... Mexico is in America. America is a continent.
As an Alum, my thoughts and prayers go out to all UT students–Please stay indoors until all is clear!
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. If more of the responses where like yours.......
It's the same old storie. What's happening in the US educational system? Who wants to kill thought? Maybe the name of the storie could be: "From bully behaviour in the schoolyard to undiscriminating shooting in the University".
Do you know for sure it was because of bullying?
Lol at ranting about the US educational system while using "storie". Might want to check yourself first, Hans.
The educational system here is a joke...anyone who doesn't think so has not taught or leearned in it in the past 10 yrs!

leearned? Really, you've made your point don't overdo it.
why is this not a top story or breaking news? i had to find out on facebook from a friend who went there, but i get breaking news updates on my iphone about lindsey. really CNN?
I know! I read it on Facebook and when I ran here for details I was shocked to not find anything on the story. One of my very best friends goes to UT so it was an extremely big deal to me. I couldn't get a text back from her either so of course that was extra scary. So glad no one but the gunman was killed. What a shame.
ya youre right what the cnn is really concerned bout theese days is gossip
Local news reporting second gunman not confirmed. Entire campus is locked down along w/ many streets leading to/from. My thoughts & prayers are w/ all students & faculty. KVET 98.1 doing a good job of reporting.
I find it sad that we have to SEARCH in order to find news of this breaking story. It happened an hour ago, CNN. What's going on? Austin not important enough to you?
Why isn't this a top story?? Is my question?!!!!
I'm Ron Burgundy???
awww he's dead? Nobody will beat Cho's high score I guess
wow lol
you're a disgusting individual
Apparently Austin isnt that important, but yet there is breaking news about a landslide in Mexico. CNN whats wrong with you? I found this story on MSNBC before I found it on here.
Maybe because one suicidal individual isn't as important as 1000 trapped in a landslide? Like it said he's dead and it doesn't look like there's a second gunman.
i found it on Facebook damn shame!
Today John Lott was supposed to speak on campus about his book! Look it up on StudentsForLiberty.org! Hopefully this fool did not off himself to make a statement! Praying for the safety of the students at UT.
Why the heck do you idiots have to even bring up the story about Mexico's landslides on here, go to that news link to talk about it, this is what we want to talk about on this link!
I am sitting in the art building on campus and we are locked in. Can here the sirens outside.
Hang in there Erin. We are praying for you.
dod
God be with you.....
I'm here at UT and I can't believe I have to search on CNN to fins this.
cnn sux
Dang....
I can't believe this isn't breaking news or a top story. Found out from facebook/twitter. Get it together CNN.
That UCLA game was a tough one to swallow.
lmfao! hahah nice one.
Way to go CNN for getting on this story 2 hrs later...
