"We have two victims," police spokesman Tony Im told AFP this afternoon, adding that officers were searching the sprawling campus for an armed shooter.

Im said the shooting was reported shortly before 10 am in Boelter Hall, which is part of the school of engineering.

Dozens of police cars and tactical response teams rushed to the campus this morning and ordered all students and staff to shelter.
