McKinney police have confirmed that the shooter who prompted a lockdown of the Collin College campus died in a shootout with police.

The unidentified shooter died sometime after 9 a.m. Tuesday in an area south of the McKinney Public Safety building on Taylor-Burk Drive and north of the Collin College campus on West University Drive, McKinney Deputy Chief Scott Brewer said.

The shooter drove a Ford F150 filled with ammunition into an area south of the public safety building and set the vehicle on fire. The heat from the fire ignited the ammunition and rallied police to the area. The shooter then opened fire, Brewer said.

Officers set up a perimeter around the area and located the shooter. The encounter prompted a brief standoff and the shooter died in an area approximately 150 yards south of the public safety building during the "small exchange of gunfire," Brewer said.

No officers were injured as a result of the incident, despite earlier reports to the contrary.
