Texas: Two people were shot dead and another was wounded as an unidentified person opened fire on the Texas A&M University-Commerce campus on Monday, the university police said.
The incident happened at the Pride Rock Residence Hall, they said in a tweet. The surviving victim was taken to a hospital in unknown condition, the university police department said. The shooter has not been identified yet.
Earlier, the police tweeted that they were investigating a crime scene and asked the campus community to shelter in place.
The university later posted a notice on its website that the ‘precautionary shelter in place recommendations’ have been lifted, but Pride Rock and the surrounding areas remain blocked off. Classes were also cancelled for the day, the administration said. Police are actively investigating, they said.
