Two die in two US university shootings
Two people have died after two separate university shootings in Texas and Arizona, just hours apart, BBC reported.
One person was killed and three injured in the first shooting at Northern Arizona University early on Friday, which involved fraternity members.
Later that morning a shooting at a student complex near Texas Southern University left one person dead.
In Arizona, police named the gunman there as Steven Jones, an 18-year-old first year student at Northern Arizona University.
Mr Jones has been charged with first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
The four victims are members of Delta Chi fraternity, but Mr Jones is not.
Mr Jones told police he was approached by a group of men and assaulted. He fled, retrieved a gun from his car and opened fire when the men caught up with him, Arizona police said. Witnesses told police that the victims were unarmed.
The university has identified the student who died as Colin Brough and said the three students who were wounded are being treated in hospital.
The second shooting in Texas happened later on Friday morning at the University Courtyard Apartments on the edge of the Houston campus.
One student was killed, the university confirmed, and another person was wounded. Two people have been detained as suspects and a third is still at large, said Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva.
