( CNN ) -- A Texas constable and two others were shot dead Monday in about a half an hour of gunfire near Texas A & M University , police said . Scott McCollum , assistant chief with the College Station police department , told reporters Monday afternoon that the three people killed were a Brazos County constable , the man authorities say exchanged gunfire with law enforcement officers and a male civilian . The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund noted that the slain constable , Brian Bachmann , is the sixth law enforcement official killed so far this year in Texas . According to his Facebook campaign page , Bachmann was a 41-year-old from College Station who had been a Brazos County sheriff 's deputy since 1993 . The county 's website indicated that his four-year term as constable -- a position that involves , among other duties , serving court documents such as eviction notices and subpoenas to citizens -- was set to expire on December 31 , 2014 . `` He was a pillar in this community , and it 's sad and tragic that we 've lost him today , '' McCollum said . The city of College Station on Monday night identified the suspect at the center of the standoff as 35-year-old Thomas Caffall . On a Facebook page purported to be by Caffall , he indicates his hometown is nearby Bryan , Texas , but that he was living in College Station -- though he also described himself as `` a cross between Forrest Gump and Jack Kerouac ... I 'm on the road permanently . '' Three of the seven profile pictures on the Facebook page are of rifles , three feature dogs and one shows a man in an image much like one distributed Monday night by the city of College Station . His list of `` inspirational people '' includes famed snipers Vasily Zaytsev and Carlos Hathcock , as well as noted firearms designers Eugene Stoner , Mikhail Kalashnikov , John Garand , Samuel Colt and John Browning . The writer indicates he is divorced and has a mother , sister and brother . The page also includes a quote saying , `` We are all capable of redemption , if we are willing to change , '' plus another he attributes to George Orwell stating , `` People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf . '' As to the third victim , described as a `` civilian bystander , '' he was identified as 43-year-old Chris Northcliff of College Station . Four others suffered injuries in the roughly 30-minute ordeal after law enforcement officers arrived at a residence a few blocks from the Texas A & M campus . They included College Station police Officer Justin Oehlke , who was shot in the calf , and two other officers -- one of whom refused transport to an area hospital -- who suffered `` non-life-threatening injuries , '' McCollum said . A 55-year-old female civilian who was shot was undergoing surgery Monday afternoon at a hospital , according to the assistant police chief . He explained that police got a call shortly after 12:10 p.m. from a citizen indicating shots had been fired in the residential area just south of the university campus . He added that the constable had gone to the residence to deliver an eviction notice . Texas A & M issued a Code Maroon -- the university 's emergency notification system -- at 12:29 p.m. , telling people to avoid the area because of a report of an `` active shooter . '' By then , two law enforcement officers who were nearby had responded and found the constable down in the front yard of a home . They `` received fire from the suspect inside , ... took cover and defended themselves , '' McCollum said , noting other officers were then called to the scene . `` They ended up shooting the gunman , '' said the assistant police chief . At 12:44 p.m. , Texas A & M posted another Code Maroon update on its website indicating the suspect was by then `` in custody . '' Caffall 's mother Linda Weaver issued a statement through family attorney W. Tyler Moore indicating her son , whom she called Tres , was `` ill '' and saying the family was `` shocked and devastated by the tragedy . '' `` Our thoughts and prayers go to the families of the deceased and the wounded victims , '' Weaver said . `` We mourn them and the loss of Tres . He had been ill . It breaks our hearts his illness led to this . '' College Station Mayor Nancy Berry also put out a statement Monday night in which she lauded Bachmann , her city 's police department and others `` who stood with us throughout the day . '' `` What unfolded today in College Station is beyond tragic , '' Berry said . `` There are many victims , including families of Mr. Caffall and Mr. Northcliff , who will continue to suffer physical and emotional pain for a very long time , and we should n't forget them .
