The university says the suspect, James Eric Davis Jr., is still at large, and police are urging students to take shelter. Police urged the public to call 911 if they see Davis, but also warning that he shouldn't be confronted.
"He should be considered armed and dangerous," Lt. Larry Klaus said of Davis.
Klaus said Davis was taken to a hospital Thursday night by campus police because of a drug-related health problem.
The shooting occurred around 8:30 a.m on the last day of classes before spring break.
