The shots were fired about 8:40 p.m. and people in the area were ordered to shelter in place, Mogulof said.

"This was a lone actor, there were no victims or additional shooters," Janet Gilmore, the university's senior director of strategic communications, said. 

The order was lifted at about 9:50 p.m.
