Local officials say first reports of shots fired came in just after 4:00 PM, and police were dispatched to an engineering and physics building that has classrooms and labs where students were taking their final exams. Our officers responded and as they are trained to do, entered that building immediately and began searching for a suspect. Preliminarily, all we have is a suspect that was a male dressed in black.

Francis Doyle is the university's prevost. Most of our buildings after hours are card-swiped. But since there was a final exam, there was probably a lot of traffic.

The Ivy League school has more than 7,300 undergrads and about 3,000 graduate students. Law enforcement says multiple people were transported to nearby hospitals. We are a week and a half away from Christmas, and two people died today and another eight are in the hospital, so please pray for those families. [INDISCERNIBLE] That's OK. Yeah, that's all right. Yeah, so am I. I'm in a real live [INDISCERNIBLE]. Now, Jericka, this is still a very active situation here, and police say they know how this man left the building. Local, state, and the FBI and ATF are investigating. Jericka?
