AUSTIN, Texas - Gunshots have been fired on the University of Texas campus in Austin after an initial report of someone bringing a gun to one of the libraries.

A spokeswoman for UT police said there were reports of someone bringing a gun to the Perry-Castañeda Library, which is the main library in the intersection of East 21st Street and Speedway.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Police at the University of Texas at Austin are investigating reports of a man on campus who may have shot himself.

UT police spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon said Tuesday that "preliminary reports are that this person shot himself, but that is not confirmed."

Weldon says the campus was put on lockdown around 8 a.m. Tuesday following a report "of an armed subject" at the Perry-Castaneda Library.

Weldon told The Associated Press that nobody else was reported hurt. She had no additional details.

A statement on the UT website, at 9:02 a.m. Tuesday, said "stay in place, lock doors." A loudspeaker on campus was announcing there was an "emergency" on campus.

Police barricades were in place in an area near the library, located on the southern part of the campus.

Everything is an AK47 according to the media.

I'd like to see someone shoot themselves with one... I think it would be tricky. Maybe if they used both hands it would be ok.

Plus how do you sneak around with something like that on a warm day in texas?

Update: UT Law has canceled John Lott’s talk.

Infowars.com has learned that an open carry event was scheduled on the UT campus today, the scene of a shooting earlier today. From the Students for Liberty website:

On Tuesday, September 28 at 6:00pm, a coalition of student organizations on the University of Texas Austin campus, including the Libertarian Longhorns, the UT Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, the UT Objectivism Society and the UT Federalist Society, will be hosting John Lott, famed defender of gun rights and author of the book “More Guns, Less Crime”.

The only “political aspect” behind the “coincidence” of the shooting happening on the same day as the second amendment event is the fact that if the gunman or gunmen had been more successful in their rampage, students who had exercised their gun rights and adopted concealed carry would have been far more protected than those who had not.
Indeed, presuming that the danger is now over with the gunman dead, there would have been no better time than tonight for Lott to give his speech about Second Amendment issues on campus.

However, as a consequence of this amazing “coincidence,” Lott’s presentation has been postponed with no indication of when it will be rescheduled.

It remains to be seen whether the corporate media will play up the connection between the shooting and the Lott speech as a means of demonizing the Second Amendment, but given how the establishment has ceaselessly exploited mass shootings in the past to attack the rights of the victims to defend themselves, don’t be surprised if the talking points in reaction to this story start to take on this very character.

Soon now I expect the more paranoid of our brethren that see threats under every rock ;D
Will be calling the shooting a false flag attempt to disrupt the open carry meeting.

All of the above is being said solidly tongue in cheek! :lol
