A Cal State Fresno student is suspected of shooting one person and wounding two others in an apartment across from the campus late Monday.
The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Jonquel Brooks, allegedly began shooting during a dispute with four men over a Playstation console.
"This is not another Virginia Tech," police spokesman Jeff Cardinale told AP reporters. "This is simply a dispute between one person and a group of individuals."
As of Tuesday morning, the suspect had not been found. According to Fresno police, the suspect's parents were helping law enforcement authorities communicate with Brooks to get him to surrender.
The Fresno campus remained open. Residents of the apartment complex were evacuated to the campus cafeteria.
The Fresno County Coroner's Office identified the dead man as Brant Daniels, 19. He was not a current student at the university. The wounded men, ages 19 and 22, were treated for gunshot wounds. According to the police, one was a current student and the other was planning to enroll.
The university alerted students of the incident by sending a notice to students, faculty and staff Tuesday morning and by posting an announcement on the school Web site.
