A lone gunman killed one person and injured three others Thursday on a college campus in the northwestern US city of Seattle, where the mayor denounced America´s “epidemic of gun violence.
“The latest bloody rampage to shake the United States came just two weeks after an apparently mentally disturbed man opened fire at a California university and killed six people. Those wounded at Seattle Pacific University, including at least one who was critically hurt, were being treated in hospital. The dead victim was a 20-year-old man, according to police.
The Seattle Police Department described how the gunman opened fire in a lobby of a science building on the campus. “Police have one suspect in custody, an adult male who was subdued after being pepper-sprayed by a student security guard,” the police statement added. Initial reports suggested there were two gunman, but police said that proved false.
