An American university placed its campus on lockdown after a shooting that left one person hospitalised.
One man was shot and wounded in the student union at Savannah State University in Georgia, according to a university official quoted by local TV station, WSBV-TV.
The lockdown was lifted around midnight and there is no longer an active shooter on campus, a local official has said.
The school administration sent an email to staff and students saying that although “public safety has lifted the campus lockdown and traffic has resumed” they should remain in the rooms .
According to Tiger's Roar, the university's student run newspaper, police are currently hunting for a male suspect.
There was blood on the floor of the union after the incident, the newspaper also reported.
The incident at the university comes just a day after the murder of two television journalists who were shot on air by a disgruntled former employee in Indiana and two months after the murder of nine black parishioners at a landmark African-American church in neighbouring South Carolina.
The motive for the attack is currently unknown.
