UCLA Shooting Leaves Two Dead; Campus on Lockdown
Two people were killed at the University of California Los Angeles today, with school officials announcing the campus was placed on lockdown after reports of a shooting around 10 a.m.
The incident took place at an engineering lab in Boelter Hall.
The identities of the victims are unknown at this time, but law enforcement officials say they were both men and both were in their 40s.
It is also unknown whether they were students, members of the faculty or neither.
Los Angeles Police Officer Tony Im says authorities had received reports of an active shooter near the aforementioned building and were operating under the assumption that he or she was still at large.
One theory, however, is that this was a murder-suicide and that no one else in the area is in any danger.
Officials quickly placed the campus on lockdown while authorities looked into the frightening incident.
From there, large groups of armed police officers patrolled the streets of the campus, which is home to over 40,000 students.
There are also snipers in place and helicopters are flying overhead.
“We have responded in an abundance of caution,” a police official said during a press conference at the scene. “The city of Los Angeles has been placed on a tactical alert city-wide.”
Agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also on the scene.
Some students, of course, were in classrooms when the lockdown was announced.
