School officials said the gunman — described as a white male in gray sweat pants, a maroon hoodie and a backpack — was spotted walking across campus about 10 minutes after the 12:37 p.m. shooting. The gunfire was reported in a school parking lot, with the two victims injured in separate lots at the school, according to the school website. The shooting apparently followed a routine traffic stop, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
The university, home to a 2007 killing spree that left 33 people dead, immediately told students and faculty to stay inside with their doors locked. Local mass transit was also suspended as the hunt for the shooter continued. The shooting came on the same day when the university was appealing its $55,000 fine for its response to the 2007 rampage.
