'Two people have been shot dead at Central Michigan University in the US.
The university said the shooting had started on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall at around
8.30am on Friday, local time.
The two dead were not students or staff at the university, police said.
There were no other injuries.
CMU Police Lieutenant Larry Klaus said the campus is still "on active lockdown and students
are sheltering in place".
James Davis.
He said police had contact with the suspect, James Eric Davis Jr, the previous evening and that
he had been taken to hospital "due to what police believe might have been a drug-type incident
-an overdose or bad reaction to drugs".
He would not give any details on the possible motive for the shooting or the suspect's relationship
to the victims, saying only that it was believed to be "a domestic-type incident".
He also did not reveal the type of weapons used in the shooting.
Officials in Mount Pleasant, where the campus is located, described the suspect as a black 19-year-old,
5ft 10in tall and wearing yellow jeans and a blue hoodie. Rhey added: "He is considered armed and
dangerous."
Officers have been scouring the campus on foot and helicopters have been seen searching for the
suspect from above. Jeff Browne, Mount Pleasant Police public information officer, said anyone who sees
Davis should not approach him but should call 911 immediately.
He added: "The important thing is to know our community is safe (but we) ask that everybody stay inside
at this time."
Halie Byron, 20, said she locked herself in her off-campus house, about 10 minutes' walk from Campbell Hall.
She said: "It's scary thinking about how easy a shooter can come into a college campus anywhere
-a classroom, a library. "There's so much easy access."
Parents hoping to collect their children for spring break were told to go to a local hotel instead...'
