Two people are injured and a gunman is dead after a shooting inside an academic building at Old Dominion University in coastal Virginia Thursday morning, according to the school.
The shooter was “neutralized” after the person opened fire shortly before 10:50 a.m. at
Constant Hall on campus in the port city of Norfolk, the university
said in online alerts.
An “all clear” has since been given. “There is no longer an active threat to the campus community,” the university said.
The two people injured were in critical condition and taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Jennifer Lewis, a spokesperson for the hospital, said.

The university has canceled classes and operations on its main campus for the rest of the day, the university said. The shooting at

weeklong school break is scheduled to begin on Monday.
