YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in northeast Ohio say a shooting at a fraternity house just north of the Youngstown State University campus killed one student and injured 11 people, including six students.

Youngstown police Lt. Franklin Palmer says the shooting happened early Sunday and no arrests have been made.

A statement from the school says officers are working to identify suspects, and the YSU police chief says there’s no threat to the campus.

Information on the identities and conditions of the injured was not immediately available. The university says the person killed and six of the injured are YSU students.

The school says YSU President Cynthia Anderson met students and their families as the hospital this morning and called it “a sad day for the YSU family.”
