Two students were found dead in a shooting on UCLA campus this morning. This prompted a campus lock down as well at the SWAT and police appearances. Authorities investigated the incident while police roamed the streets armed. Freshman Teddi Mattox said she was in a cafeteria getting breakfast with about 100 other students when the shooting occurred. She said, "We got the alert and a woman said, 'This is not a joke, everyone get to the back of the dining hall because we have to stay away from the windows,'" she told CNN. We're crowded back here, we've been here for at least an hour and a half. People are crying, they're nervous, they're shaking." The suspects were found as well as weapons. UCLA Police Chief James Herren said he did not know whether the two males killed were students or staff members. Both males were found dead in the engineering building. "So far we don't know the nature of the shooting," CNN senior law enforcement analyst Tom Fuentes said, "If it's a personal thing between a couple of students, then it will be a local police matter. If by chance it turned into a terrorist situation, then the FBI would have primary jurisdiction over that." Photo from CNN.com.
