Unfortunately, this is more fodder for those that would like to outlaw guns or severely limit access to them.
(CNN) -- Police took a man into custody Monday after "multiple people" were shot near Texas A&M University, a police official said.
Several law enforcement officers were among the people shot, Rhonda Seaton of the College Station Police Department told CNN. She didn't have information on how many people were shot or their conditions.
She said a person identified as the gunman was in custody. The shooting happened about one block from campus, Seaton said.
Officer Jon Agnew with the Bryan Police Department said at least one civilian had been injured. Bryan is adjacent to College Station.
Police are still at the scene making "sure there aren't multiple suspects," Officer Jason James of the Bryan Police Department said.
James said the first call was that an officer was down and shots had been fired.
After the initial report, the university warned people to stay away from the intersection of Welborn Road and George Bush Drive as well as part of Fidelity Drive in College Station, Texas.

Remember last week when I asked if these recent events REALLY surprise any of you?
I bet money he was a white domestic terrorist.
Not really a 'mass' shooting. 2 fatalities and one injured.
Looked like some kind of Ar15 variant from the copter footage.
So, not "mass shooting" and not "at texas A&M" ...
Prayers for all those involved.
