Seattle police say three victims of a shooting on the campus of Seattle Pacific University have been taken to a hospital and one suspect is in custody.
Police now say they are no longer looking for a second suspect.
Officer Drew Fowler confirms three victims have been transported for medical care after the shooting late Thursday afternoon. It isn't clear whether the suspected gunman is also wounded.
The university posted online that "the campus is in lockdown due to a shooting near Otto Miller Hall."
A woman who answered the phone at the school's security office quickly disconnected, saying no one could talk.
About 4,000 students attend the Christian university about 10 minutes from downtown Seattle.

SEATTLE, June 6 (UPI) --Aaron Ybarra, 26, of Mountlake Terrace, Wash., was arrested Thursday for allegedly shooting one person to death and injuring three others at Seattle Pacific University.The man, who wasn't at student at the school, allegedly entered the Otto Miller Building at about 3 p.m. and opened fire, shooting three people before other students subdued him.
Annie Nguyen, a woman who worked with Ybarra at a gym said that though the suspect was interested in guns, she wouldn't have guessed he would be responsible for such a shooting.
"So we worked with each other for about two, three months," she told KCPQ.
"He was an amazing friend. Good worker. He was really calm and nice. If you know him, you would not think he would do it, because... he's just not that type, that would do something like that."
Surveillance footage of the incident showed a building monitor used pepper spray to subdue Ybarra before knocking him down.
"Once on the ground, other students jumped on top of them and subdued the shooter," Seattle Police Capt. Chris Fowler said.
"The students acted without regard for their own safety," said university president Daniel Martin.
Four people were injured in the shooting, one of whom, a 19-year-old man, died upon arriving at Harborview Medical hospital.
A 22-year-old woman, Sarah Williams, was in critical condition after five hours of surgery. One man in his 20s was treated and released. Jon Meis, the monitor who pepper sprayed Ybarra, was also treated and released.
Police said Ybarra confessed to the shooting. They haven't found a connection between him and the private Christian university.
