Shooting at Arkansas University kills 2, wounds 1

The head of the University of Central Arkansas said Monday “our campus is safe” after a shooting left two students dead and a third person wounded. Police said there was no ongoing threat and that they were questioning two people.

Police said officers were seeking two more suspects, all male and from the central Arkansas area. Police said they were not students.

Police knew no motive yet for the shooting.

“It does not seem at this time that it was a random act,” said campus police Lt. Preston Grumbles.

University police Lt. Rhonda Swindle said two people were being questioned Monday morning but that neither was under arrest. One was pulled over by police during the night and another turned himself in, authorities said. Police said they believed they knew the identity of the other two suspects.

One victim died on the sidewalk along a narrow alley between the dormitory and a fine arts center. Police said the two other victims rushed into the dorm, where paramedics found them.
