4 weeks ago
Two people were killed and another was wounded Thursday night in a shooting at the Hugine Suites residential complex on the campus of South Carolina State University, authorities said.
The university issued a campus lockdown around 9:15 p.m. after reports of gunfire, and the restriction remained in place for nearly eight hours before being lifted early Friday morning.
University officials have not yet released the identities of those who died or provided details about the injured person’s condition, according to a statement.
Classes were canceled Friday, and law enforcement officers, including the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), continued to patrol the campus and investigate the incident.
The shooting comes a little more than four months after two separate shootings during homecoming celebrations in October near the same residential area, one of which killed a 19‑year‑old woman.
