Seattle Police: 3 Victims in University Shooting

SEATTLE ― Seattle police say three victims of a shooting on the campus of Seattle Pacific University have been taken to a hospital and one suspect is in custody.

Police now say they are no longer looking for a second suspect.

Officer Drew Fowler confirms three victims have been transported for medical care after the shooting late Thursday afternoon. It isn’t clear whether the suspected gunman is also wounded.

The university posted online that “the campus is in lockdown due to a shooting near Otto Miller Hall.”

A woman who answered the phone at the school’s security office quickly disconnected, saying no one could talk.

About 4,000 students attend the Christian university about 10 minutes from downtown Seattle.

UPDATE: When the lone gunman armed with a shotgun university stopped firing at students to reload, another student pepper-sprayed him and subdued him with the help of others and prevented more deaths, police said.
