At least 3 shot at Houston-area community college
One person is reported in custody and police are searching for a second suspect
Lone Star Community college in the Houston area is on lockdown after at least two people were reportedly shot, KHOU-TV reports, quoting a deputy constable.
The Houston Chronicle says initial reports indicated that as many as three people may have been wounded. Their condition was not immediately clear.
KHOU, quoting one of its college reporters, said that one male was seen being taking out of the library on a stretcher.
KHOU reported that one person is in custody and that officers are searching for a second suspect at large.
KPRC reports that the suspect, described a black male, 18 to 20 years of age wearing a red shirt and a cap, fled an academic building heading toward a nearby housing development.
KPRC quoted a student, Amanda Vasquez, as saying she heard "5 or 6" shots while sitting in English class. She said students quickly scrambled, hiding under desks.
An alert on the college's website called on students, faculty and staff "take immediate shelter where you are.
The newspaper quotes a spokeswoman for the Lone Star College System as saying it's a "pretty chaotic scene."
The shooting took place around noon at the North Harris campus, one of the six serving the college system. It is located northwest of George Bush Houston Airport.
