Campus terror as student opens fire on campus

A student wearing a dark suit and a ski mask and armed with an assault rifle began shooting at the University of Texas campus this morning before fleeing into a library and shooting himself dead.

The shooting began near a fountain in front of the UT Tower - the site of one of America's deadliest shooting rampages more than 40 years ago, when a gunman climbed the clock tower and fired on dozens of people, killing 16.
