McKINNEY, TX - The Collin County Community College campus in McKinney is on lockdown this
morning after at least one shooting incident.
Sister station KTVT in Dallas reports students at the college were alerted about the shooting just after 8 a.m. when the campus was placed on lockdown. No injuries have been reported from the campus.
At some point a man allegedly pulled up at the nearby police department in a pickup truck loaded with ammunition and began shooting. Police returned fire and it is believed the suspect was shot and killed behind the police station.
There are reports that there is another shooter still on the loose, but that has not been confirmed.
We have a crew en route to McKinney and will have a live report on First News at Noon.
