An 18-year-old freshman college student is dead and another person is injured after a shooting at Texas Southern University.
The southeast Houston campus is no longer on lockdown. Houston police say two suspects are in custody and they are looking for a third person.
University spokesman Kendrick Callis said classes have been canceled. Classes will resume on Monday. Texas Southern University President John M. Rudley confirmed the shooting as well as the fatality and said guns are too “easily accessible.”
This is the third shooting on the TSU campus in the past two months, the second this week. It was the second university shooting of the day in the United States, coming hours after a gunman killed one person and wounded three others at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. An 18-year-old student was arrested in that attack.
Both shootings came little more than a week after a student fatally shot nine people and wounded nine others at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, before taking his own life, in one of the worst mass shootings in the country in recent years.
