The Casper police chief says three people are dead after an attack at a Wyoming community college.
Police Chief Chris Walsh says two of the people were found dead at a the World Physical Science Center on the Casper College campus. The building was evacuated.
Another person was found dead at another location.
Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh told the Star Tribune no suspects were at large and no additional injuries were reported.
Earlier, Casper College spokesman Rich Fujita said the incident, according to unconfirmed initial reports, involved a faculty member and a student. The attack involved a crossbow or another similar weapon, Fujita said.
The school's campus was locked down after the 9 a.m. incident and an advisory on its website warned students to stay away from campus until further notice.
No additional information was immediately available, Fujita said.
Casper College in Casper — four hours north of Denver — was the state's first junior college when established in 1945 and currently has roughly 5,000 enrolled students, according to its website.
