A Texas Tech University student arrested for drugs in his dorm, pulled a gun out at the campus police station and shot an officer in the head, according to school officials and police Monday night.
The police officer has reportedly died.
The student and alleged cop killer has been identified as Hollis Daniels.
The campus was on lock down. Officials alerted students to take shelter but have since lifted the order after Daniels was apprehended a second time.
An armed Daniels roamed the Lubbock, TX campus after escaping custody for more than an hour before being re-arrested.
ALL-CLEAR: The suspect has been apprehended. Lockdown lifted on campus. Avoid TTUPD, north side of campus. https://t.co/jOFvYnGgL6.
