Florida college locked down after shots fired on campus

Posted: 03:26 AM ET

(CNN) - Authorities at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton instituted a campus lockdown early Wednesday, following an outbreak of gunfire at a school dormitory.

Police are looking for a male suspect after shots were fired around 1:15 a.m. at University Village Apartments, said FAU Deputy Police Chief Keith Totten.

"The suspect - at this time - we have been unable to locate," Totten said. "Due to that, we activated the emergency notification systems on campus ... and closed all the campus entries."

The incident resulted in minor injuries, but the cause was not immediately clear, Totten said. No one was taken to the hospital for treatment.
