One person has been confirmed dead in a shooting on the Purdue University campus in West Lafeyette, Ind. on Tuesday. Police have taken one male into custody following reports of the shooting.
One person was reportedly shot around noon in the university’s Electrical Engineering Building, according to WLFI-TV.
The victim is believed to be a teaching assistant, the campus newspaper Purdue Exponent has reported.
Purdue Exponent editor-in-chief Saran Mishra said that the paper could not confirm who the victim was. However, it is known there is only one reported victim and one suspect.
“We’re all in a little bit of a shock,” Mishra said.
The campus lockdown has been lifted after two hours. All classes have been resumed except those in the Electrical Engineering building.
