| 4 shot at Seattle University: 1 dead; suspect arrested
Another shooting ... Quote:
(CNN) -- A gunman opened fired Thursday at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person and wounding three before a student tackled him, Seattle police said.
The gunman was reloading a shotgun when the student, working as a building monitor, knocked him down, Police Capt. Chris Fowler told reporters.
"Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them and subdued the shooter," he said.
Witness describes frantic scene
The suspect, whose identity was not immediately released, is in custody, police said.

4 injured in Seattle college shooting
The shooting began inside the foyer of Otto Miller Hall, which houses the university's science, math and engineering departments, when the gunman confronted three people and shot them, Fowler said.
A young man was declared dead at Harborview Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Leila Grey said.
A 20-year-old woman was undergoing surgery and listed in critical condition, she said. Two men, ages 24 and 22, were in satisfactory condition, she said.
Witness Briana Clarke told CNN she was in Otto Miller Hall when she heard two loud but muffled shots that sounded like "helium balloons popping."
"I thought it was another one of my professors that was giving a demonstration," she said.
"I walked into the hallway and saw a classmate of mine running frantically, saying that someone had been shot."
The school was locked down during the shooting, and the lockdown was lifted after police cleared all the buildings on the campus.
"I'm in my office with four students with the blinds closed. We're sitting on the floor with the door locked, very scared," university counselor Karen Altus told KOMO.
Seattle Pacific is a Christian university with a student population of 4,270. It is located in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. Hospital: 1 dead, 3 wounded in shooting at Seattle Pacific University - CNN.com | |

You mean you don't need to be openly carrying guns in order to put an end to a public shooting? There must be some chagrin from some NRA members.
