Sheriff Ralph Jeffers said Leroy Cockrell, a farm worker in his mid twenties, had been dating Dunlap for about two years and had tried to end the relationship. The incident occurred when Dunlap’s mother drove to the college to pick up her daughter after classes. Witnesses reported Cockrell fired through the Dunlap car window, then shot himself in the head with a .300 Savage rifle. The victims were residents near Salado, about 10 miles away. Mary Hardin Baylor College, founded in 1845, is among Texas Baptist Convention schools headquartered in Belton.
