LA police chief: UCLA shooting was murder-suicide, campus now safe

Los Angeles police chief says the shooting at UCLA was a murder-suicide, and the campus is now safe.

Two people were reported shot earlier today at the University of California’s Los Angeles campus, which was placed on lockdown as police searched for an active shooter.

“We have two victims,” police spokesman Tony Im told AFP, adding that officers were searching the sprawling campus for an armed gunman.

Im said the shooting was reported shortly before 10 a.m. in Boelter Hall, which is part of the school of engineering.

Dozens of police cars and tactical response teams rushed to the campus and ordered all students and staff to shelter in place.
