Two people are dead and at least four others were injured and a suspect was taken into custody after a shooting Tuesday at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Tuesday, officials said.

There was no information as to whether the dead and wounded were students, Lester Oliva with the Mecklenburg EMS agency said.

Charlotte police said in a tweet that the campus had been secured, that one person was in custody and that there was “no reason to believe anyone else involved.”
