1 hurt in shooting at university in St. Louis; alert lifted
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Washington University in St. Louis lifted an emergency order for students, faculty and staff about 90 minutes after a shooting that injured at least one person Wednesday on the school's main campus.
The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. along a road that separates the main campus from the university's primary residential housing area.
University spokeswoman Sue Killenberg McGinn said that one person was injured in the shooting near the student union and performing arts building.
Freshman Jordan Isikow said she was finishing a psychology experiment when people ran inside the building and said there was a shooting right outside.
Was it a skateboard?' But seconds later, a siren sounded alerting students to go to a safe place.
