One person was killed and another seven injured at a US university shooting early Sunday, police said, just days after another firearm incident at the same school left one dead.
A student was among those wounded in the attack at around 1:30am (local) at Grambling State University, Louisiana State Police said, with one person in critical condition at hospital.
The school tweeted the student was “treated for non-life-threatening injuries”, and the person killed was not enrolled at the university.
It is the second shooting in less than a week — although the incidents are not believed to be connected — at the historically Black college in the southern US state.
Homecoming activities — an annual football game accompanied by parties — were canceled as were Monday and Tuesday classes, the school said.
There was an overnight curfew imposed until further notice, the statement added.
“GramFam, now the is the time to be Unapologetically Unified as we rally to comfort one another after this morning’s incident,” the school tweeted earlier Sunday.
