DURHAM, N.C. — A lockdown has been lifted at North Carolina Central University in Durham after an on-campus shooting left one student injured.

The university said in a statement Sunday night that the shooting happened around 11 p.m. Sunday on the edge of campus.

University spokeswoman Ayana Hernandez says no arrests have been made. Campus police are investigating.
