Breaking: 1 dead, 4 wounded in Arizona school shooting
A gunman is in custody after opening fire on the Flagstaff campus of Northern Arizona University early Friday morning, according to media reports.
One person was killed and three injured in a shooting that occurred near the Mountain View Hall, a dormitory used to house the school’s students involved in Greek life, ABC News reported.
The three wounded were being treated at the Flagstaff Medical Center following the 1:20 a.m. attack, school officials said.
The college sent out its first alert about the shooting at 2:29 a.m., cautioning residents of the hall to stay indoors.
The motive for the shooting is reportedly unknown at this time.
According to unconfirmed posts on Yik Yak, a geo-location social media app frequently used by college students, a member of the Delta Chi fraternity was the victim killed in the shooting.
Arizona Sen. John McCain and Gov. Doug Ducey offered their condolences.
“I appreciate the efforts of all state and local law enforcement officials, first-responders and school administrators, and continue to pray for the recovery of the injured, as well as all those in the NAU community who have been impacted by this terrible tragedy,” McCain said.
Praying for @NAU and the victims of this morning’s shooting. All Arizonans have the #Flagstaff community in their hearts today.

The Arizona shooting comes on the heels of a deadly mass shooting in Oregon last week and marks the 46th campus shooting in the country this year.
