(Reuters) - Two students at a college near Houston, Texas, were struck by gunfire on Tuesday after shooting broke out between two people on the campus, a college official said on CNN.
One of the shooters was in police custody and the other had fled the campus of Lone Star College, college spokesman Jed Young said.
Young said the shooting erupted around 12:30 local time between two individuals, and it was unclear whether they were students.
The North Harris campus of the school was locked down.
The shooting occurred just over a month after a gunman killed 20 students and six staff at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
There have been three separate shootings at schools and colleges in the United States in the past two weeks.
On January 10, a student armed with a shotgun opened fire at a California high school, wounding a fellow student. A second student also received minor injures at Taft Union High School in Taft, California, about 30 miles southwest of Bakersfield.
On January 15, a student armed with a pistol opened fire at Stevens Institute of business & Arts in downtown St. Louis, shooting a school employee and then turning the gun on himself.
Also on January 15, two people were killed and a third wounded when gunfire broke out in the parking lot of a community college in eastern Kentucky. Authorities said that shooting was a result of a domestic conflict.
