Gunman who shot two dead and wounded four others in Texas spree after boasting about trying out his new 'toy' gun

The family of the gunman who opened fire near a Texas university campus, sparking a deadly shooting spree that left three dead, have described him as 'deeply troubled' and a 'ticking time bomb'. Divorced gun collector Thomas Alton Caffall, 35, turned a weapon on police constable Brian Bachmann, 41, when the officer arrived at his house near Texas A&M University to serve him with eviction papers. It sparked an exchange of fire which lasted 30 minutes and left both the veteran officer - a married father of two - and the gunman dead. A third man, identified as 43-year-old Chris Northcliff, was also killed after apparently becoming caught up in the gunfire. Three police officers and a female bystander were injured in the shooting in Fidelity Street, College Station on Monday afternoon.
