One dead and one seriously injured in a shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort

A shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort left at least one person dead and another seriously injured. According to the state's governor, Andy Beshear, local authorities have arrested a single suspect.

The incident took place at around 3:35 p.m. The Department of Public Safety said the attack occurred in a university's dormitory. The Frankfort Police Department reported that they responded to a tip of an "active shooter" on campus, which will remain on lockdown until further notice.

"We are aware of a reported shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort. At this time, we are aware of some injuries. We will share more information as available. Law enforcement are on scene, and a suspect has been arrested. Let's pray for all those affected," Governor Beshear wrote on his X account.

According to the university's website, it has approximately 2,000 students who began final exams this week. Its officials remarked that they are "still in the process of gathering accurate and complete information" before issuing an official statement.

Hours later, Governor Beshear posted a video on social media reassuring residents. The Democrat stressed that this was an isolated incident and not a “mass shooting.”

“While this is scary, there is no current threat, and I believe our families are safe. Pray for a world where these things don't happen, and I will continue to try to build a Kentucky where we don't see arguments that end in violence,” he said.

This is a developing story.
