Really heartsick whenever this happens…hopefully it’s nothing…

2 victims confirmed http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/police-investigating-possible-shooter-on-campus

My nightmare. Got in touch with my Bruin, she is in a secured location on campus.

CNN reports the campus is on lockdown with two victims BUT that the shooter is still at large; hoping that the situation has been caught in time to prevent further victims. Remember: UCLA is still in session and the campus is fully populated.

My heart goes out to all of the students, staff and parents who are connected to UCLA. It’s such a big place, I’m hoping they’ll be able to find the shooter or shooters before anyone else is hurt.

Horrible news. They have locked down nearby schools too. Hope they catch the shooter soon.

Two victims confirmed dead.

The news is now saying 2 are dead, but police haven’t confirmed this and are saying not to listen to unconfirmed reports. Hope it’s not true.

EDIT: Now confirming 2 dead and they are saying a suicide note and a hand gun were found.

This is horrible. My cousin works at the medical center. I hope he’s okay.

You know, just a couple of days ago, so many of the students were having fun in Vegas, getting ready for finals that start in a few days, and then you get a text from your kid telling you they are in a secured location and a shooting is happening on campus. My heart is breaking for the victims, their families, and all of Bruin Nation.

That moment during a live KTLA interview when a reporter asks a Belgian student what he thinks about the shooting and he responds, “I’m thinking what the fuck!” She quickly says, you can’t say that on tv here. Today is his first day on campus. :frowning:

yikes…I have a nephew there.

Is one of the dead students the shooter? Did he shoot someone and then take his life?

@mom2collegekids, police won’t say whether one of the dead is the shooter - but they are very actively looking for a shooter so they may believe the shooter is still at large.

2 dead in the engineering building. Oh my. When will this stop??? Condolences to the families.

According to CBS, police have confirmed its a murder-suicide situation

@collegeandi Thank you for the update

CNN still has not reported the murder- suicide. They are simply staying people are locked down and staying in place, and others are being advised to stay away from campus.

**ETA they are now saying that it was a murder/suicide but still looking into possible other shooters.

Yes, suicide note found. more news will come out.

I have a kid at UCLA and I have been by the engineering building probably 50 times. It is so nice and pleasant there. I am heart broken
