Amidst the rush to gather more information, students and faculty have been warned to remain where they are.

UPDATE 3:15 pm: Two people, including the police officer, have been confirmed dead. The officer was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop. Witnesses say that the gunman fled on foot to a parking lot, where a second person was later found dead.
