(MENAFN- The Peninsula) AFP

Washington, United States: Two people were injured and the gunman is dead following a shooting on Thursday at Old Dominion University in the southern US state of Virginia, the school said.

The gunman opened fire in a building on the campus in Norfolk, injuring two people, the university said in a statement. The victims were taken to a hospital.

It said police and emergency personnel "responded immediately" and "the gunman is now deceased."

The university said classes had been suspended for the remainder of the day.

School shootings are a shockingly regular occurrence in the United States, where guns outnumber people and regulations on purchasing even powerful military-style rifles are lax.
