Three reported injured after shots fired at Florida State University

At least two people were shot on Florida State University's Tallahassee campus early Thursday. Their conditions are not known, and it's also not clear if they are students.

Students were sent emergency alerts by the school, which told them a "dangerous situation" was unfolding and to seek shelter immediately. Junior Toni Haywood told ABC News via text that she was on the second floor of the Strozier Library when she heard gunshots at around 12:30 a.m. Soon, people came running up from the first floor and told everyone to hide.

"The police came on the intercom and said that there was a gunman in the lobby, and I think he said two people had been shot," Haywood said. "We all waited then the police came back on and said the gunman was in custody and to stay where we were." Police have not released any further details.
