Police have detained the shooter, who turned himself in after the attack, according to local media. The shooter, named as Volkan Baya, was apprehended by police after he left the scene, Mr Gonen said.
Three other people were reportedly wounded in the attack. He said the motive of the attack appeared to be a personal dispute. The attacker's main target appeared to be the university dean, who was not in his office when the gunman arrived, he added.
The gunman's motive was not immediately known.  He said the gunman, who was studying for a doctor's degree, had been under investigation at the university after he accused a number of staff members of being followers of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkey blames for a failed coup in 2016.

  Governor Ozdemir Cakacak said three prosecutors had been assigned to investigate the case.
Earlier, unconfirmed reports said three people were also injured. Relatives rushed to the university as soon as news of the attack broke.
