Savannah State University shooting: Georgia campus gets all-clear after person injured in gun attack | |
(35 minutes later) | |
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 . | |
