University officials have not confirmed the victims’ identities
or the condition of the person wounded, the school said in a
news release Thursday night.
The school put the campus in Orangeburg on lockdown at about
9:15 p.m. when a report of the shooting came in. The lockdown
was lifted about 5 a.m. Friday, the university said in a news
release.
Kaya Mack had just finished making a food delivery on campus
when she heard gunshots and saw lots of police officers coming
through a gate.
She said she wasn’t sure where the shots were coming from.
“Their loud sirens kind of shook me,” she told WLTX-TV. “We were
looking around, me and other people on campus, we’re all looking
around like ‘What’s going on?’”
Investigators were on site and law enforcement was patrolling
the campus and areas nearby. The university said it asked the
State Law Enforcement Division to investigate the shooting. An
email seeking comment was sent to an agency spokesperson.
The university canceled Friday classes and was making counselors
available to students.
