Gunfire erupts at Tyler courthouse, 3+ hurt

This is no good:
At least three people were shot when a man with a high-powered rifle opened fire in the town square near the courthouse Thursday, a U.S. Marshal said. It was unclear how many people were killed. "He had a rifle, and he was shooting at the back of the courthouse and he shot some glass out, shot a deputy sheriff there and two other civilians," said Deputy U.S. Marshal John Walker.

One report indicated that the gunman was shot after fleeing in his pickup truck. Let's hope he's not on the loose.

UPDATE: Got'em.
