Man Who Opened Fire Near A&M Campus Once Lived In Temple
August 14, 2012

COLLEGE STATION (August 14, 2012)—Thomas Alton Caffall, 35, the gunman who opened fire on a Brazos County constable who was attempting to serve an eviction notice shortly after noon Monday at a house near the Texas A&M University campus, was a former Temple resident.

Brazos County Pct. 1 Constable Brian Bachmann was killed in the shooting, the College Station Police Department said.

He was serving an eviction notice at the home on Fidelity Street when he was killed, Assistant College Station Police Chief Scott McCollum said.

Brazos County Justice of the Peace Michael McCleary said Tuesday that Bachmann wasn't scheduled to serve the notice, but "grabbed" it from a deputy and made the delivery as "part of his job."


McCleary said Tuesday that Caffall was two months behind on $625 rent, and the notice ordered him to appear in court next week to explain the delay.

McCleary says eviction would have been the next step.

Bachmann was an 18-year veteran of the Brazos County Sheriff's Office before his election to the constable's post.
 ::snipping2::
Caffall's sister Courtney Clark said her family was shocked by what her brother did.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families, and this is just a senseless tragedy," she said.

Clark declined to say anything else about her brother or what might have prompted him to commit the shooting.

A neighbor who witnessed the shooting said Caffall asked him to apologize to the constable he shot.

Rigo Cisneros, a former medic, told The Bryan-College Station Eaglet that Caffall made the request as he lay dying from bullet wounds he suffered in the shootout with polic
e.

Officials at Texas A&M said Caffall was neither a student nor school employee.

In real life, Mr. Caffall, unlike video games, there aren't any do overs.
