Innocent bystander? Early reports depict College Station, Texas, eviction firefight as school shooting

As word spread through the media earlier today of a shooting in College Station, Texas, visions of a repeat of the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that claimed 32 lives played in many people’s minds.

In reality, though, the event was much closer to the 2011 shooting at that same school which, while tragic, claimed only two lives, including that of the shooter, who was not a student there. Today’s gun violence reportedly took the lives of three: a constable serving an eviction notice, the suspected gunman and a bystander.

As the “Texas A&M shooting” slowly became “the shooting near Texas A&M,” some are wondering if a nation (and media) on edge from multiple shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Oak Creek, Wis., was primed for something more.

As reported by Twitchy earlier, anti-gun advocates were quick to lump the shooting with those mass shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin in a call for gun control. But when a supposed school massacre is revealed as an eviction gone wrong blocks from campus, is Texas A&M being used unfairly as a tool in the gun rights battle?
