At least two people were injured Thursday in a shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Officials say the suspected gunman has been "neutralized."
The shooting happened around 10:45 a.m. local time at the school's Constant Hall. Two people were taken to an area hospital but the status of their injuries is not known at this time. Officials at the university have said there is no longer an active threat.
Old Dominion University's website says Constant Hall serves as the hub for the College of Business and has 19 classrooms, two full size lecture halls and the Greg Lumsden trading room. Classes at the university have been canceled for the rest of Thursday and students were asked to avoid Constant Hall as the investigation continues.
In a post on social media, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said agents were on the scene supporting the investigation. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger thanked first responders and urged people in the community to follow guidance from local law enforcement.
"I have spoken with university leadership. My Administration remains in close contact with local emergency responders as state support is being mobilized to assist ODU and Norfolk," Spanberger said in a statement.
Old Dominion University is a public research university in Norfolk, Virginia, with about 23,000 students. Founded in 1930 as an extension of the College of William & Mary, it offers more than 200 degree programs and is located near the Chesapeake Bay.
