At least six people were hurt, one of them critically, after a mass shooting at a Florida university on Thursday, hospital officials said.
The campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee was locked down after gunfire erupted, with students ordered to shelter in place.
Local media, citing a police spokesperson, reported one man was in custody.
The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper said the spokesperson did not confirm the identity of the man, or comment on social media reports that there was more than one shooter.
Witnesses spoke of chaos as people began running through the sprawling campus when shots rang out in the area of the student union.
"Everyone just started running out of the student union," a witness named Wayne told local news station WCTV.
"About a minute later, we heard about eight to 10 gunshots."
The eyewitness said he saw one man who appeared to have been shot in the midsection.
