One police officer, one civilian, and the suspected gunman have all died after a shooting near the campus of Texas A&M University on Monday, Aug. 13, 2012, police say. Three other people were also injured in the incident. The officer killed was reportedly 41-year-old Brian Bachmann, a constable with Brazos County. Investigators say he was the first to arrive on the scene when the suspect fired shots from his house, but a motive is still being determined. The university issued an alert on its website just before 12:30 p.m. Monday warning of an active shooter near the campus football stadium, Kyle Field. The warning told residents and students to avoid the area.
