Monongalia County sheriff's Chief Deputy Perry Palmer said the shootings occurred this morning. More details weren't immediately available and it wasn't immediately clear whether anyone was injured.
911 director Mike Wolfe said police are searching for Jody Hunt in the case. Police also are searching for a 2011 Ford F-150 extended cab truck with a license plate that's blacked out and unreadable.
"We ask that everyone stay vigilant and use their discretion about whether they should leave their homes," Wolfe said.
"The incident is not associated with WVU nor did it occur on or near campus," the university said in a news release.
Palmer said officers from the West Virginia State Police, Westover Police and the Monongalia County Sheriff's Department are helping the investigation.
