According to the AP, there was a shooting on Ohio State Campus this morning at 3:30AM. The shooting took place in a maintenance building and left one employee dead and two more wounded. The shooting suspect was taken into custody.

The two who were wounded were taken to the Ohio State University Medical Center. One is currently in critical condition and the other is in stable condition, according to Police Cheif Paul Dention.

"This is a tragic event, and our hearts go out to all of the families," said Vernon Baisden, a university assistant vice president of public safety.

Graduate student Kiernan Gordon, 31, said he found out about the shooting from his wife, who called him on his cell phone while he was driving to campus. He said he didn't have any concerns about his own safety.

"Ohio State is really a city unto itself, and like any city it has problems unto itself," Gordon said.

The maintenance building where the shooting occurred is just east of Ohio Stadium, where the school's football team plays.
