One person is in police custody in connection with shootings that took place Monday night near the University of California, Santa Barbara campus.

The suspect was among three men who were shot outside of a home in Isla Vista, ABC Los Angeles reports, and a second suspect, who possibly drove away in a white four-door sedan, remains at large. Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call at the house at around 7:10 p.m., and found the three men, all in their 20s, in need of medical help. The campus and surrounding areas were immediately put on lockdown, and authorities have since lifted the order to shelter in place.

The shootings occurred nearly one year after 22-year-old Eliot Rodger killed six people and injured 13 others in Isla Vista before killing himself.
