The Texas Tech Shooting

On Monday night, the Texas Tech campus police went to Daniels’ room for a welfare check. There, they discovered drugs and drug paraphernalia, and took him in for “standard debriefing” at approximately 7:30 p.m. at the Texas Tech Police headquarters. That is when “the suspect pulled a gun and mortally shot an officer” said University Police Chief, Kyle Bonath. Daniels then reportedly fled on foot.

Details about how Daniels got ahold of the weapon or who it belonged to were not disclosed.

Approximately two hours into the search, a campus police officer spotted the suspect in a parking lot near Jones AT&T Stadium, chased him down, and handed him over to the Lubbock police.
