Went to UCLA for years (uh ... grad school), but more mid-campus. Kinsey Hall, Campbell Hall.

Brother Buzz
(36,215 posts)UCLA sent an alert to all students advising them to stay away. The diligent students will do as my son did, and let home know everything's cool.

(146,192 posts)You must be relieved, I'm sure.

This sucks.

MineralMan
(146,192 posts)I'm not following this minute to minute, though. I'm hopeful they capture the shooter soon, though.

(5,780 posts)Not necessarily the shooter.
Appears to be a student. Black shirt & shorts. A student showed a reporter video of the arrestee being led off by several officers. There is a rough match of the description tweeted by Daily Bruin of the shooter.

(10,136 posts)If you are hiding from the attacker, you should have your phone silenced since you have no control over any incoming calls/texts.
