A MAN SUSPECTED of shooting a number of people near Texas A&M University has died.
A gunman and a law enforcement officer were among three people killed in the shooting near the Texas A&M University campus, police said.
A male civilian also was killed, while two other officers and a woman were injured in the shooting in College Station, said Bryan Police Department spokesman Jon Agnew.
Assistant College Station Police Chief Scott McCollum earlier identified the law enforcement officer killed as Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann.
Agnew said officers had established a perimeter around the area shortly after the shooting just east of campus, but they do not believe a second suspect was involved.
He said police don’t know if the shooter was a student at Texas A&M.

Texas A&M spokeswoman Sherylon Carroll could not confirm details about the shooting, but said most students were not on campus Monday.
It appeared to be fairly quiet. It didn’t appear to be a lot of people out and about at that particular time.
College Station is about 90 miles northwest of Houston.
The University put a number of ‘code maroon’ warnings on its website today, saying:
CSPD reports an active shooter in the area immediately southeast of the intersection of Welborn Rd and George Bush Drive. Please avoid the area. Residents in the immediate area need to remain inside their residence.
It said that the shooter was located at the 200 block of Fidelity Drive.
KBTX.com said the man was shooting from a house and using automatic weapons.
Autumn classes have not yet begun at the university.
