As students started their Tuesday morning, many checked their cell phones, Twitter and Facebook accounts. What they found was news of a shooter on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin.
Colton Tooley, a sophomore mathematics major, began firing an AK-47 assault rifle on the UT campus yesterday morning, according to a brief released by UT.
Students who had signed up for campus alerts received warnings of the gunman through text message, a siren and a loudspeaker system, according to the brief.
