NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- A gunman is dead after injuring two people at Old Dominion University Thursday morning, according to ODU officials.

A gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at approximately 10:50 a.m. ODU officials said two people were injured as a result and were taken to a local hospital. Their status is currently unknown.

ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building.

As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, "I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming."
