I deleted mine. Here's the Seattle Times story:

7 shot at Seattle Pacific University; 1 in custody; suspect sought



Update at 3:58 p.m.: Otto Miller Hall is being evacuated. Police say there are at least four victims awaiting treatment in the hall, but they cannot go in until it is evacauted. They believe the second gunman may be inside.

All victims are being taken to Harborview Medical Center.

Original post: Seattle police are investigating a shooting at Otto Miller Hall on the Seattle Pacific University Campus.

Officials say there appears to be seven victims; no fatalities.

Police say they have one person in custody, but a search for a second suspect has kept medics from getting to up to six injured people inside Otto Miller Hall, said Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore.

SPU is a largely Christian university with various psych programs and I know a number of people who have gone there.

Gunman entered Otto Miller Bldg, shot four and was stopped when reloading. SMALLER MAGAZINES SAVE LIVES.

The shooter is apparently a student at the university and attacked with a shotgun. They're saying that thirty shell casings were found. He was subdued with pepper spay by staff when he was reloading. More when I find it.

SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle hospital spokeswoman says one man in his 20s has died and a woman is critically injured after a shooting Thursday afternoon on the campus of Seattle Pacific University.

Two other people are less seriously hurt. Police say a suspect is in custody.

Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg had no additional information on the young man who died. She says a 20-year-old woman is in surgery with critical injuries while a 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old man are in satisfactory condition.

Gregg says the hospital is not expecting any more injured people from the shooting.
