At least 2 people are dead, and another was injured after a campus shooting on Feb. 12 at South Carolina State University, school officials said.
A campus lockdown was issued at about 9:15 p.m. local time on Thursday, Feb. 12, after a reported shooting in an apartment at the Hugine Suites student residential complex, South Carolina State University officials announced in a statement. The school campus remains on lockdown.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigators are investigating the shooting, according to school officials. The university is located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, about 45 miles southeast of Columbia, South Carolina.
"Friday classes have been canceled," the school confirmed on Facebook. "Counselors are available to students."
The victims' identities and the condition of the injured person were not immediately known. USA TODAY has reached out to the university and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for comment.
Founded in 1896, South Carolina State University has a population of over 3,000 students, according to the school website. The school is the state's only public historically Black university.
In October 2025, shootings on the school's campus left one person dead and another injured as the institution hosted homecoming celebrations. The shootings, which triggered a campus-wide lockdown, were not believed to have been connected.
