Texas Southern University suspect in custody after second school shooting of the day

Two people were shot at Texas Southern University on Friday in the second campus shooting of the day. One student has died while the other is reported to be in stable condition. The attack reportedly took place "at a student housing complex," according to KPRC 2 Houston. Police reportedly have a person of interest in custody.

"It's crazy," the school's associate vice president of communications, Eva Pickens, told The Los Angeles Times. "It's broad daylight."

Students at TSU are not allowed to have firearms on campus and the motive behind the attack is not clear. Earlier Friday morning, one person died and three were wounded at Northern Arizona University in a shooting that stemmed from an argument outside a dorm.
