Two people died Wednesday in a shooting at UCLA that police said may have been a murder-suicide.
Students first reported the sounds of gunshots Wednesday morning, and a campus-wide security alert was issued at 9:52 a.m.
LAPD officers and bomb squad members responding to the shooting. Police first said two were injured, and later confirmed they were killed.
Officers entered Boelter Hall, part of the university’s school of engineering. Students were advised to avoid the area.
UCLA campus police Chief James Harren told reporters at the scene there were still “dozens of people sheltered in place” two hours after the incident.
Police later called the incident a “possible murder-suicide,” which would indicate the shooter was one of the two dead.
Police could not confirm whether or not the two involved were students, and said a motive for the shooting was not immediately clear.
LAPD pronounced the incident over around 12 p.m. “Campus is now safe,” said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck.
