At least two people reported shot at Texas college

At least two people were reportedly shot at a Texas college Tuesday, US media reported but few details were available.

Television footage showed people lying on the ground and at least one person being loaded into an ambulance on the campus of Lone Star College near Houston.

A spokesman for the Harris county sheriff’s department — which is handling the event — told AFP she was not immediately able to provide any information.

The college posted a warning to students on its Facebook page to “SHELTER IN PLACE if you are on campus. IF YOU ARE NOT ON CAMPUS DON’T GO TO CAMPUS.”‘

One person has reportedly been detained but it was not clear if it was the shooter, or if more than one shooter was involved.
