The Travis County Medical Examiner’s office has successfully identified the University of Texas shooter as 19 year old Colton Tooley. Colton Tooley was a sophomore math major at UT, and is expected to have lived in the 3200 block of Western Drive in South Austin, which is just north of William Cannon Drive near Brodie Lane.

We are sure to hear dozens of Tooley’s classmates at the University of Texas speak out about the man in the coming days. Often times these students see themselves as outcasts, outside the social circle of the college. Tooley was carrying an AK-47 assault rifle, and began firing it on campus as police began chasing him. In the end Colton Tooley took his own life with the weapon. Luckily he was apprehended swiftly, before he was able to perhaps harm other students in the vicinity.

An early search online has shown no public profiles of Tooley on Facebook, Twitter or Myspace.
