An 18-year-old freshman college student is dead and another person is injured after a shooting at Texas Southern University. The southeast Houston campus is no longer on lockdown. Houston police say two suspects are in custody and they are looking for a third person.

The two were shot in the 3500 block of Blodgett Street near Canfield around 11:30am. The shooting happened at the Tierwester Oaks section of the University Courtyard Apartment Complex. The apartment complex is owned by TSU and is on campus property.

University spokesman Kendrick Callis said classes have been canceled. Classes will resume on Monday.

Texas Southern University President John M. Rudley confirmed the shooting as well as the fatality and said guns are too "easily accessible."

This is the third shooting on the TSU campus in the past two months, and the second at this apartment complex.
