Right now, we're all sitting in the dark quietly. Just heard there was a suicide note. Two shooters down. #UCLA #lockdown. I am ok, all.

Guys - I love you. I am ok. We are all ok in here right now. Hearing choppers. PLEASE DON'T CALL. It would not be appropriate to talk now.

Others have taken extreme precautions in order to stay safe.
The doors open outward and we can't lock them so we are barricading things in front of the door #Ucla #activeshooter pic.twitter.com/KwA3VjqVHh
