DALLAS _ The two women who were fatally shot at a Texas A&M University-Commerce residence hall Monday were sisters, the university announced in a news release.
The school's police department confirmed their identities as 19-year-old Deja Matts and her sister, 20-year-old Abbaney Matts. Deja Matts was a freshman from Garland who was studying public health, the university said. Her sister was not enrolled on the Commerce campus.
The child who was hospitalized Monday after the shooting was identified as Abbaney Matts' 2-year-old son, the university said. He is now being cared for by family members, the university said. The child's name has not been released.
The shooting appears to be a "targeted, isolated event," police said.
Police said they found the two women dead and the baby wounded after a student called authorities at 10:17 a.m.
All classes, programs and events have been canceled through Wednesday.
