Sherman also said the suspect was not a member. “He was someone who always cared about other people”. “It appears this was not a targeting of campus”, said NAU police officer Christopher Anderson. “She escaped being hit by the shooter as she ran”, the post said.

HOURS AFTER a student at an Arizona university was fatally shot and three others were wounded, the college president sought to reassure the community.

Campus police arrived at the scene and apprehended Jones “without further trouble”, Fowler said. They were all members of Delta Chi fraternity at the Flagstaff university, media reported. A final all clear message was sent to the entire campus at 2:52 a.m.

NAU’s Counseling Services will be open tomorrow from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.in the Health and Learning Center, according to the university. A freshman student was killed, and three other male students were hurt.

Northern Arizona University police and school officials did not immediately return the Daily News’ request for comment.

Brough was from Castle Rock, Colorado, about 30 miles south of downtown Denver.

In a report via news10, Jones told cops several people approached him and two of his friends as they were outside a residence early Friday.

Defense attorney Burges McCowan asked Flagstaff Justice Court Judge Paul Christian to allow Jones to be released to his parents in Glendale, Arizona, saying he has no prior criminal history and is a lifelong resident of Arizona.

Administrators identified the victims as Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek, and Nicholas Piring. He said a fight ensued and he was punched in the face.

Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick lives in Flagstaff.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Arizona US Senator John McCain, both Republicans, extended thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families.

Students, appearing tired and shocked, attended a morning news conference on the shooting.

“A whole lot of shootings – especially among young people at 1 in the morning – are from arguments, and someone has a gun”, he says. The suspected shooter is in custody.

Flagstaff is NAU’s largest campus, with more than 20,000 students. “It’s surprising because you always hear about school shootings, but you never think you’ll know anybody actually in them”.

NAU President Rita Cheng said the shooting was “isolated and unprecedented”. Houston police confirmed one person died in the shooting, another person was wounded and a suspect was believed to be in custody.

The dormitory is home to numerous campus’ clubs and societies.
