Columbia, SC (WLTX) - The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division says a shooting at a campus building on the University of South Carolina Thursday afternoon was a murder-suicide.
The shooting took place just after 1 p.m. in the Arnold School of Public Health, just blocks from downtown Columbia. SLED Spokesman Thom Berry said additional information on the circumstances leading up to the shooting were not immediately available, but he did call the shooting "isolated."
Berry would not say if the two that were dead were students or faculty.
"There was no active shooter situation, other than the two individuals that are now deceased and were involved in this situation," he added.
Berry said Richland County Coroner Gary Watts is also investigating and may have information Thursday night or Friday morning.
