The school, with
about 9,700 students, was placed on lockdown for several hours
after the shooting and all classes were canceled on Friday.
Police said they do not yet have a motive for the shooting.
Authorities have not yet identified the suspect or the victims
but local media said the person killed was a student at the
university.
The school lifted the lockdown on Friday afternoon and said the
shooting suspect remains at large and that police have taken two
people of interest into custody.
It said the surviving victim was in serious condition at an area
hospital.
The incident came several hours after an 18-year-old student
opened fire with a handgun on the campus of Northern Arizona
University in Flagstaff early on Friday, killing one person and
wounding three, in the latest in a series of U.S. school
shootings.
Texas Southern said there was a separate shooting incident at an
apartment complex near campus on Thursday night.
