Per CNN:
"Earlier this evening, Texas Tech Police made a student welfare check. Upon entering the room, officers found evidence of drugs and drug paraphernalia. Officers brought the suspect to the police station for standard debriefing. During this time, the suspect pulled a gun and shot an officer in the head. The officer is deceased. The suspect fled on foot and is currently still at-large. Texas Tech University campus is on lockdown. We will update as more information becomes available."
Isn't it SOP to search the person being detained for weapons/drugs before taking them to the station?

Looks like a drug bust gone bad, not a "mass shooting."
One police offer fell in the line of duty.
Still terrible, obviously.
From what I can tell this seems like a relatively isolated incident. Doesn’t sound like a mass shooting situation.
Still terrible and hopefully no one else is hurt but I think people are to quick to jump to mass shooting right now.
I saw zero people jumping on the mass shooting narrative at all, so these are irrelevant.
Sorry, but wtf were they thinking...Per CNN:

Maybe he drew the weapon from the LEOs holster?Yeah, certainly don't want to blame the victim, but seems like someone ****** up here.
Don't cops typically use holsters that would make that pretty difficult for someone else to draw and use it quickly enough?Maybe he drew the weapon from the LEOs holster?
