Texas Southern University is on lockdown this morning after a shooting near campus in southeast Houston.
We're hearing from Houston police that two people may have been shot on Blodgett Street near Canfield around 11:30am. The shooting happened at the Tierwester Oaks/University Courtyard apartments.
TSU spokesperson Eva Pickens issued the following statement:
"Texas Southern University has announced the campus is on lockdown following a shooting incident just moments ago. Early reports indicate two shot - conditions not known right now. The assailant is still at large. All staff are asked to remain in offices - students to remain in classrooms until further notice."
TSU students are tweeting about the shooting:

This is the third shooting on the TSU campus in the past two months, and the second at this apartment complex.
Earlier this week , one person was injured while on the "Tiger Walk." TSU Police are still looking for that suspect, identified is Darios Tramain Crayton Scott, 19.
And back on August 27 , a man and woman were both injured when a man opened fire in the parking lot of the same apartment complex as today's shooting. Darrius Nichols, 20, is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in that case.
