According to the Los Angeles Times account:
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck confirmed that the shooter was one of the two men killed inside a small office in the campus’ engineering complex.
”The important thing for people to take away from this is the campus is now safe,” Beck told reporters in a news conference that took place shortly after noon.
The shooting, which led to a campus lockdown just after 10 a.m., prompted a massive response from local and federal law enforcement.
University officials cautioned students in a campus-wide alert to remain inside, unless instructed by police to leave. Beck said police were in the process of conducting an orderly end to the crisis.
Authorities did not identify the victims and a motive was not immediately clear.,
Helicopter news footage showed students walking out in a line with their hands above their heads as armed police officers scoured the campus.
The shooting left students hiding in buildings across campus. Some secured doors with belts or created makeshift barricades to secure themselves in classrooms as word of the incident spread across campus.
The shooting occurred at a building called Engineering IV. (Map) The Los Angeles Times reports police are now searching the campus classroom by classroom.
Campus media relations officer Rebecca Kendall says the report of the shooting came in about 9:55 a.m.
By 10:06 a.m. the campus Twitter account said the campus was on lockdown.
