Lone Star College, located in north Houston, was put on lockdown Tuesday after several people were shot and injured on campus, a local Fox affiliate reports.

One person is reportedly in custody and police are in pursuit of another potential shooter on the run.

Three victims were transported from the campus to area hospitals and the extent of their injuries could be, in certain cases, serious according to reports. Moments after the shooting, students could be seen being led out of the sprawling campus with their hands on their heads. Police SWAT teams were searching the campus

Reports indicate that the shooting may have arisen after a fight broke out between two people, at least one of them armed.

The campus is being evacuated and an emergency alert was sent to students and faculty advising them to take shelter and steer clear of the campus.

ABC reports that some students said they heard gunshots when they were in cafeteria. Campus spokesperson Vicki Cassidy says there is a safe shelter for students at the North Campus.

A woman was seen being wheeled out on an office chair, according to ABC.

This is a breaking story. Please check back for updates.

    Some gangbangers let their guns influence their behavior. The guns didn’t pay attention to the no gun zone laws or any other laws, kidnapped those homies, and forced a shootout. The guns have fled the scene, leaving a trail of innocent victims. The surviving children in the area are busy writing letters to Obama, begging for swift action against those evil guns.

    this is going to sound really crazy, but…….
    I wouldn’t doubt if some of these shooter are doing it for their cause….. remember that story about the lesbian in Lincoln Nebraska that cut herself tied herself up and started her own house on fire to try to further here cause?

    I just have a bad feeling we’ll see “martyrs” doing this for their cause…. lefty’s doing these things to make people want to ban guns, don’t put it past them, they can’t win with logic, they have to win with scaring and emotions

    Where’s the coverage of the criminal charges they will get? Isn’t that where the media should be concentrating? It’s as if people think this is a free for all with no laws against it.. They couldn’t get enough of it with G. Zimmerman. He was supposed to get the death penalty for defending himself and using a weapon when it came down to his own life.
    Where is the coverage on ILLEGAL use of any weapon?

    Picture this; What if most of the students were carrying rifles slung over their shoulder like the guy at Penny’s the other week. These aren’t trained law enforcement or military people. They see shooting they react, they shoot who they think is the villain. It could turn out to be a real fire fight with mass confusion, everyone suspecting the other guy with a gun is a killer, each one shooting at the other one.

    I’m not for gun control by any means.

    The reason why they won’t report on all the mass killings in Chicago are 1. It’s a Liberal enclave 2. It’s ethnically politically incorrect 3. It has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the nation 4. It is rather routine for Chicago politicians and gang-leaders to work hand-in-hand AND

    5. The only keys they’d need on their keyboards are the number keys and the letters D, E, I, K and L.

    False flag? Maybe. Look for the signs. The template.

    “Lone” gunman who was into FPS games.
    Bushmaster AR-15 or multiple long guns being initially reported
    Security system down for maintenance.
    Witnesses seeing other shooters being downplayed.
    Medical examiner appearing drunk or giddy,
    “relatives” not particularly upset.
    Emergency vehicles or personell kept from site of incident.

    I may be mistaken. But let’s keep our eyes open on this one. Every aspect.

      Looks like I was mistaken, and it appears to be gang related.

      But, it WAS another gun free zone.

      Or should I say, unarmed victim zone?

    Does it seem odd to anyone else how many of these are occurring lately? By lately, I mean in conjunction with the 2nd term of that guy who hates the U.S. I realize there are gun crimes every day, but it seems the MSM is pouncing on every single incident that could even be remotely classified as a mass shooting (i.e. more than one person shot).

    Regardless of whether it is choice reporting or all the criminally insane thinking this is a good time to go for it, it is playing well into the hands of those who want to take guns away from us law abiding citizens who would only ever use a firearm – when forced – to protect ourselves and our families (that means self-defense for those of you on the liberal fanatic carousel).

    We need to see accurate reporting (AKA the truth) – the motives – severe mental illness, out of work for 2 years and giving up, whatever. How can we win against people (politicians and their marionettes) who are not able to think anything through logically and are completely driven by uninformed emotion? Especially when Generation E (Entitled) is the majority vote?

    IMO, the government knows what is coming. Whether we nose dive over the financial cliff or the government actually corrects the budget to prevent such, the result will be the same for Gen E – they will be on their own and our entire nation will at some point look exactly like the sub-human chaos during Katrina – and those *defending* themselves against it.

    nothing like a gun free zone. I wonder if the representative from the state that brought the AK-47 was charged with having a firearm in a gun free zone?.Laws for us and Laws for them.

    Dollars to donuts these shooters both had legal concealed carry permits.

    The government is running out of candidates to demonize the 2nd Amendment.

    What will it be next; theme park shootings? Sports arena shootings? A wedding perhaps? Maybe a funeral?

    In their self-centeredness, too many people have not been taught or have forsaken the God-ordained importance of every individual life and responsibility to preserve life, all the while media is teaching how to kill but not under what conditions it is proper or right. Because, for decades, “science” has been denying God and teaching evolution, are we now seeing animalistic “survival of the fittest” in action?.

    So tired of these freaking shooters, they are making all gun owners look like monsters. Cannot wait to see who this idiot is this time. Could it be yet another highly medicated dumb ass kid whose parents always cuddled him and left him without consequences? Probably! Gang banger – probably – legal gun owner I sure as hell hope not.
