Shooting at Lone Star College Raw
At least two people were wounded in a Tuesday shooting at Lone Star College in north Houston, according to initial reports.

CNN reported that a suspect was in custody but that could not be immediately confirmed.
TIMELINE: U.S. mass shootings
Students were shown jogging away, with their hands up, as police entered a building on or near the campus. Students were later shown walking calmly as police vehicles remained massed around the campus.
KTRK-TV reported that officials were focusing on the campus' library. The station showed a victim being wheeled into Ben Taub General Hospital after the shooting.
"We know that shots have been fired and we are in a shelter-in-place situation on the campus," Vicki Cassidy, manager of media relations for Lone Star College System, told the Houston Chronicle. "It's a pretty chaotic scene at this point in time."
An alert posted on the school's website at 12:47 p.m. advised students, faculty and staff "to take immediate shelter where you are."
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said it would post more information on its Facebook account as it becomes available.
