An “active shooter” reported at North Lake College in Irving, Texas, is dead, along with one victim, police said Wednesday.
The shooter appears to have killed himself after fatally shooting one victim, according to the Irving Police Department’s Twitter feed.
The college sent out an alert at 11:45 a.m. local time, saying that there was an ongoing “intruder lockdown” in place, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Before 1 p.m., police identified a suspected gunman, telling the Morning News that a suspect seen in surveillance footage was a white man with a brown buzz cut, wearing an orange tank top with a gray stripe. It’s unclear whether that suspect was the one who later killed himself.
MacArthur High School nearby was also on lockdown as a precaution, the mayor’s office confirmed.
North Lake College is a two-year community college with its central campus in Irving’s Las Colinas neighborhood. It is one of seven colleges in the Dallas County Community College District.
Around 11,000 students were enrolled at North Lake College in fall 2013, according to the school, with nearly 80 percent of those students attending full-time.
