Further, they remind them to notify them if any unusual event occurs around the surroundings. 

What Report Saying?

According to the reports, the event took place during the time around 7 pm, when a game was being played in the Stern Arena, the authorities have been trying to crack down on the shooter who is still at large.

The reports suggest that the shooter was wearing a black hoodie and jeans with a black mask, and seems to be 6’2 in height.

In response to the shooter being on the run, attorney general Drew Wrigley assured that police have been in contact with the Bureau of criminal investigation for their expertise and knowledge in catching the one-man shooter.

Several people have reached out to the schools for any update on the incident, as most of the calls were unanswered, though a call to the office of County Sheriff Richland was responded to, they could only confirm that a shelter-in-place order has been passed on to the campus’s staff and students.

As the official has not revealed any detailed information, it is still unclear to determine the number of casualties from the incident.

Some residents saw an ambulance and police rushing around even two hours after the incident, which might indicate that other deaths have been reported.

Moreover, the situation has been developing and pressure on the officials has been driving them to chase the shooter.
