LOUISIANA — One person is dead and seven others were injured following a shooting at Grambling State University early Sunday morning.

A homecoming event was underway when the shooting broke out at around 1:15am in the quad area, according to school officials. 

A person who was not enrolled at the school died, authorities said. Another person is hospitalized in critical condition and six others suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

A suspect has yet to be identified and detectives are investigating.

This the second deadly shooting at the Louisiana school within days, authorities said. On Wednesday, one person was killed and three others were injured following a gunfight on campus.
