A shooting left one person dead on Tuesday at Kentucky State University in the capital city of Frankfort, Kentucky. Two other people are in critical condition, and law enforcement has a suspect in custody, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear wrote in a post on X.

“The shooting that took place today at Kentucky State University appears to be an isolated incident—not a mass shooting,” he said.
