A lockdown has been lifted at North Carolina Central University in Durham after an on-campus shooting left one student injured.
The university said in a statement last night that the shooting happened around 11 pm yesterday on the edge of campus.
The statement says the student was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
NCCU sent a tweet from its official account yesterday that mentioned an "active shooter" and urged students to seek shelter "away from gunfire." The statement says an "all clear" was issued at 11:50 p.M.
University spokeswoman Ayana Hernandez says no arrests have been made. Campus police are investigating.
