(Reuters) – A shooting at Northern Arizona University killed one person and injured three others, the school said on Friday, adding that the suspect was in custody.
“Situation is stabilized,” the university in Flagstaff, Arizona, said in a post on Twitter. The campus was not on lockdown, the university said.
The first call of shots fired came in at 1:20 a.m. local time, university spokeswoman Cindy Brown told CNN. The incident occurred in a parking lot adjacent to a residence hall, Brown said.
The three injured victims were being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center, Brown said. Their conditions were not known, she said. Brown said she did not know the identities of the victims or shooter, or if they are students.
A university news conference was scheduled for 6 a.m. (9 a.m. ET).
President Barack Obama will travel to Roseburg, Oregon, on Friday to meet privately with families of the nine victims of the mass shooting at a community college last week.
Northern Arizona University’s Flagstaff campus has 20,000 students and is a gun-free zone, Brown said. Students were notified about the shooting by text and social media.

So many “Shooting” hoaxes, with such little time between them for analysis. It’s just like Rove said……….. “when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
The incident occurred in a parking lot adjacent to a residence hall, Brown said.
NOT ON CAMPUS!
false story title, this was not a shooting at a University
secondly IF people would wake up to their 2nd article RIGHT they would have the ways and means to put a stop to an assault
More to follow…
