2 Injured in UCLA Shooting; Campus on Lockdown
KTLA - Los Angeles
Shots rang out before 10 a.m. at the Engineering 4 building in the center of campus.
"Go to a secure location and deny entry (lockdown) now!" the university wrote in the message to students.
Police identified the victims as two men in a statement, but did not say if they were students or campus employees.
UCLA Police Chief James Herren said an "active search" is underway for the shooter.
"It is certainly possible that one of the victims is a shooter," Herren said. "We don't know that yet."
Los Angeles was placed on a "tactical alert citywide," LAPD Capt. Andy Neiman told a group of reporters.

FBI and ATF agents also responded to the shooting.
Students took cover, hiding and barricading themselves in campus buildings.
The university's graduation is less than one week away.
Wednesday's gunfire marks the second shooting in recent years at a University of California campus. In 2014, gunman Elliot Rodger killed six people near the campus of University of California, Santa Barbra, about 100 miles northwest of UCLA.
The UCLA campus is located 70 miles west of San Bernardino, where a gun-toting couple killed 14 people at an office holiday party in San Bernardino in a November attack.
