Students at Kentucky State University were getting ready to head home for the holidays when a gunman opened fire on campus Tuesday afternoon. We was on the way back. We was in the car. We hear fire, fire, fire. That's all we hear.
SKYLER HENRY:

Police say two students were shot. Both were rushed to the hospital, where one died.

When officers got to the scene, campus police had the suspected shooter in custody. He has been identified as 48-year-old Jacob Lee Bard of Evansville, Indiana. Investigators say he is not a student. Police did not release any information on a possible motive. Frankfort police believe this to be an isolated incident, and there are no active safety concerns on campus at this time.

Kentucky State University is a public, historically Black university with about 2,200 students, located just miles away from the state capital in Frankfort. This is the second shooting to take place outside of this residence hall this year. In August, a drive-by shooter injured two people.
WITNESS:

It was my first semester here. It's been the second shooting this happened. Doesn't really make me feel real safe.

In response to Tuesday's attack, the university has suspended all classes, final exams, and campus activities for the rest of the week. For CBSMornings, I'm Skyler Henry.
