At approximately 2 p.m., A&M-Commerce cancelled classes and instructed its students to take shelter as it investigated a shooting at Pride Rock, a three-story residence hall for freshmen.

On Twitter, the police department said additional shelter for displaced students and counselors was made available at the Rayburn Student Center.
