Sep 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Police are on the look out for a second gunman at the University of Texas after a first gunman, in a ski mask went into the library of the school with a rifle, and fired several shots before killing himself.

The campus remains on lockdown as the cops look for a possible second suspect. Anyone who is on campus is advised to stay inside, and others are asked to stay away. No faculty or students have been injured, according to reports.

An email, as well as a text alert, was sent out to the faculty and students this morning at around 8 am, just as the classes were starting, stating an “armed subject was reported last seen at Perry Castaneda Library” and asking everyone to stay put.

Robby Reeb, a senior shared with ABCNews.com, “I was walking to class, a little late. I was walking from the business school, and a guy sprinted past me screaming, ‘There’s a guy with a gun.’ I looked up and saw a man in a ski mask, wearing a suit, and carrying an assault rifle. And I called 911.”
