by ERIN CALABRESE


Texas Tech campus was on lockdown for over an hour on Monday night after a police officer was shot and killed at the campus police headquarters,authorities said.

A call for a student "welfare check" lead campus officers to a room where they found drugs and drug paraphernalia, prompting the officers to bring the student to station, a spokesman for the school said in a statement.

"During this time, the suspect pulled a gun and shot an officer in the head," the statement read. "The officer is deceased."

The suspect then fled on foot, authorities said. The school tweeted out that anyone on campus should "shelter in place" just before 8 p.m. CT (9 p.m. ET).


The suspect, identified as Hollis Daniels, was caught by police around 9:30 p.m. CT after a search of the campus by various local law enforcement agencies, authorities said. The lockdown was lifted shortly after.

That's what I got out of it. This is a good size, but po-dunk town, and the University police force is about like babysitters for college kids (those words come directly from a friend of mine that worked as a police officer for Texas Tech for several years before he moved on). So I doubt they ever really thought it was a huge risk, sad to say.

That and probably because he is white.

Still, he had drugs in his room, you think they would've searched him to make sure he at least didn't have any on him.
