A shooting near the student housing complex of Texas Southern
University, in Houston, Texas, on Friday has killed one student, and
left another person injured in serious, but stable, condition.

John Rudley, president of the university, identified the unnamed
deceased victim as a freshman student. He was sent to hospital and
subsequently pronounced dead, according to a press release from Eva
Pickens, spokesperson of the university.  

Students were asked to report all suspicious activities to authorities,
regardless of "how minor it may seem", campus police said in a press
release. The police said they will increase presence on campus.

The school was initially locked-down soon after the shooting, but the
lockdown was released for all parts of the campus but a single building,
Courtyard Building 1, according to a press release. Classes were planned
to resume on Monday.

Britnney Solomon, a psychology student, said that she was planning on
moving to the campus dorms, and that she was "concerned" about the
shooting. She described it as "nerve racking", the Associated Press
reported.

The shooting came after a shooting at the campus of Umpqua Community
College killed nine people last week. The shooting caused President of
the United States Barack Obama to call for stricter gun control methods
in a speech lasting twelve minutes.
