Penn State shooting: Shots fired on university's Beaver campus

Multiple shots have reportedly been fired near a dining hall at a Penn State satellite campus in Pittsburgh, and a coroner is on the scene.

Officials confirmed the shots were fired, and an alert was sent to students just before 4 p.m. local time Wednesday. The alert asked students to avoid the Student Union building and food area, but said that there is "no threat at this time".

Police said that they suspect the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, and involved a university employee. The shooter, officials believe, may have been an estranged husband to the victim.

No students were reportedly involved.
