The fatal campus shooting in Flagstaff, Arizona that left 1 student dead and 3 injured began as a confrontation between members of two different fraternities.
A Texas university was the site of another campus shooting only hours after a freshman in Arizona fatally shot 1 and injured 3.The shooting occurred near a student housing complex in Houston’s Texas Southern University. Three men confronted and opened fire on two students in the parking lot of the Tierwester Oaks and University Courtyard apartments at around 11:30am Friday morning.KPRC reports that according to the Houston Police Department, the suspects ran up to the fourth floor of the housing complex after the shooting. Police have arrested two of the three suspects, but the third one remains at large. Classes were cancelled and students evacuated after the university was put on lockdown following the incident. The lockdown was lifted around 2:30pm.According to KHOU, one victim, an 18-year-old freshman, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but died soon after. The other is being treated after sustaining wounds to the upper torso and back, and is expected to survive. University officials say the killing may have been an act of retaliation connected to an earlier shooting on Thursday that injured a student.
