The suspect in a shooting on Arizona State University’s Tempe campus fired shots in the direction of a student and an ASU officer before trying to flee, ASU police said Thursday afternoon.
No injuries were reported in the shooting, which took place about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, near on-campus residences at McAllister Avenue and Lemon Street.
The suspect has been taken into custody.
The surrounding community was alerted to the events through the ASU LiveSafe app and was told to shelter in place. The order was lifted just after 2:30 a.m., and an all clear was sent out around 6 a.m., according to police.
“Incidents like this always have the potential for a tragic outcome, but immediate community action and a quick police response helped ensure no one was hurt today,” ASU Police Chief Michael Thompson said.
“From the members of the community who took action to the responding officers from both the ASU and Tempe police departments, this incident unfolded exactly how we educate and train.”
Charges against the suspect are still being determined, police said.
ASU police are asking anyone with additional information to contact the department at 480-965-3456.
