One day after a Texas Tech freshman student brandished a weapon at a campus police station and fatally shot a campus police officer, people on social media are asking how exactly the shooter, Hollis Daniels, arrived and entered the station armed.

University officials issued an alert saying the suspect was taken into custody and that the campus lockdown order had been lifted. The university later identified the suspect as Daniels.
University spokesman Chris Cook said that campus police made a student welfare check Monday evening and — upon entering the room — found evidence of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
