STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — An early morning shooting at an Oklahoma State University dormitory has left at least three individuals injured, as confirmed by a university representative.
Authorities have assured that there is “no ongoing threat to campus safety.”
Preliminary information suggests the incident occurred shortly after attendees of a large off-campus party returned to the residence hall, as reported by the university’s police department. Law enforcement arrived on the scene around 3:40 a.m.
University police Chief Michael Beckner said in a statement posted online that there were multiple victims, one of whom was known to be a student at the school. A university spokesperson said at least three people were shot. All were being treated at hospitals.
Police became aware of the shooting at Carreker East residence hall “after shooting victims arrived at off-campus locations and reported the incident.”
The university is located in the city of Stillwater, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Oklahoma City.
