At least one person is dead and another is injured after a shooting July 25 at a student housing complex at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, the university said.
University police said the shooter remains at large “and may still be on campus.”
“Responding officers discovered two individuals had been shot. One victim is deceased, and the other sustained non-life-threatening injuries,” school police said.
Students are sheltering in place. The university closed its central campus “out of an abundance of caution,” it said. Multiple law enforcement agencies are on the scene and investigating.
About 23,000 students attend the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque during the school year.
The University’s medical school was set to host a “White Coat Ceremony,” a rite of passage for incoming medical students, at 9 a.m. July 25. A ticketing site showed the festivities have been canceled.
