TCU baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle turned on the news around 6:30 on Wednesday morning and immediately reached for his phone.
Schlossnagle sent texts wondering if Austin Rep. Roger Williams and his staffer, Andrew Mitchell, were safe and OK following a shooting in Alexandria, Va. during a baseball practice for Republican senators and congressmen.
"I knew Roger had to have been there and Andrew Mitchell as well," Schlossnagle said before Tuesday's practice for the team's trip to the College World Series.
Four people were shot and the gunman was killed in a shootout with police.
