A Kennesaw State University student in Georgia was shot and killed Saturday by an “armed intruder” on campus, officials confirmed.
“Kennesaw State officials can confirm that a female student was fatally shot on campus,” the school said in an alert posted on its website. “A suspect has been arrested.”
The school added: “There is no threat to the campus community. Kennesaw State University Police are working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and we will provide updated information as it becomes available.
The student was shot around 4 p.m.
In an earlier alert on social media, the university said: “An armed intruder has been reported at Kennesaw State. Seek shelter in a secure location until further notice.
At 4:45 p.m., the university gave the all-clear and said the suspect was “no longer a threat to campus.”
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the university are investigating.
The fatal shooting comes three months after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University, was killed Feb. 22 while jogging on trails around the university’s campus from Georgia.
José Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national who was living in the United States illegally, was charged with her murder, which police called a “crime of opportunity.”
Earlier this month, a Georgia grand jury indicted Ibarra on 10 counts, including malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or preventing a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence and acting as a “peeping Tom”.
