TUCSON, Arizona, Oct. 28 Four people were dead after a shooting Monday morning at the University of Arizona, police said. At least two professors, both female, were among the dead, as was a male who apparently took his own life. Police originally said three people had died. The fourth victim was said to be a college staff member.
NBC AFFILIATE KVOA-TV first reported the shooting at the College of Nursing. The first shots were fired around 8:30 a.m. as students took midterm exams.
The nursing college and nearby buildings were later evacuated as a SWAT team went through to make sure the area was safe and to look for any other victims.
Before news of the fourth victim, campus police chief Brian Seastone told KVOA that two people were shot dead and a third died apparently from a self-inflicted wound.
The (person) with the self-inflicted gun wound appears to be the shooter, he added.
That person, described as a nursing college student in his 40s, reportedly had prior military service. Police were searching his vehicle for any explosives.
KVOA reported that the shootings took place in front of students, who were later allowed to leave before the gunman apparently took his own life.
One student said she thought at first that the incident was a Halloween prank.
