Coppell, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – Just outside a popular coffee shop in Old Town Coppell Wednesday, a violent tragedy left two people dead
Police say a 20-year old Nicholas Twining shot 21-year old Caitlin Rogers in front of George Coffee Shop, then turned the gun on himself just a few feet away.
Residents in the upscale community are stunned; Cliff Long who lives next door to the shot told our media partner WFAA-TV that he was in his office when the shots rang out.
“It just doesn’t happen in Coppell. I jumped because I knew that that was a gunshot, then 10 seconds later a second shot.”
A bullet lodged on the outside wall of his office.
Police say the victim and shooter were former college roommates but not romantically involved.
An investigation continues.
Meantime, in a Facebook post, George said that it will be closed today (Thursday) to give its staff a chance to come to grips with what happened outside its doors.
