Nothing to add that hasn't been said. Hope he isn't taken alive.

What is a "welfare check"?

When the police check on someone's status because a family member or friend is concerned about their well being and are unable to contact them. Usually it's related to the elderly...

In this case there may have been exigent circumstances that caused the officer(s) to bring the subject into the station. I don't want to speculate on what they could be...

Considering they found drug paraphernalia - that might be a reason.

How weird.
The original story has been completely replaced with all kinds of more info than when I read it.
I'm talking about the link in post #1.

How was he not searched prior to taking the the guy into the PD station? Doesn’t that seem like a breach in protocol? Not a LEO so I don’t know.

Yea. That doesn't sound right at all. Maybe he got a hold of someones sidearm

Who knows?
Officer probably missed it on arrest/search.

Shooter in custody.

Yeah....but man, what an unfortunate situation. Times and situations like this I’d prefer an alternate outcome to arrest & trial.

From my daughter who works at Tech. Man is in custody. He is a 19 year old freshman. The TTPD did a welfare check and found drugs in his room. The officer took the youth to PD where the man shot the officer in the head.

He was later captured in a parking garage near AT&T Stadium.
