I work here at UT, and there are armed subjects on campus. One guy had an AK47, but I believe he is dead (self inflicted). They're looking for another guy. The emergency sirens are really creeping me out.
This is going to be a long day.

Hang in there, and stay safe!

They are still sweeping for explosives/looking for the supposed second armed suspect. We just got the ok to open all exits/parking. People are trickling off campus. I am so glad that there was no innocent people shot. UTPD/APD/Travis county response was amazing, as well as the meaasures taken to spread emergency alerts. My cell phone went off with an alert about a minute before my boss called me to shut everything down. and to think I tried to unsubscribe from those pesky alerts.
But today I learned that emergency sirens (awful wailing sirens) are terrifying when they signal actual danger, and not just a testing of systems. But thank god they test them.

It was just a Dwyer-esque public suicide? |

My dad was on campus that awful day Whitman went to work in the Tower.
It is always my first thought when I see the Tower. Sucks....
