According to local news, police have confirmed a suspect is dead. Eight people have been taken to the hospital and a ninth victim is still on scene.
Two men have been brought out in handcuffs as police continue to clear the buildings on campus. One suspect is reported dead.
The shelter-in-place advisory has been lifted by police. The details of the event are still unclear at this point but it appears the active shooter pulled a fire alarm, waited for people to evacuate the building, and then fired at people. One suspect has been confirmed dead by police and the victim count has not been finalized yet.
