Two people were shot in an altercation near a parking garage at a university campus in Massachusetts on Saturday, leaving one person dead and another injured. The campus was locked down for seven hours, authorities said.

Neither the victims, who were hospitalized, nor the assailants were students at Worcester State University, according to a spokesperson for Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early. A shelter-in-place order was lifted around 9:30 a.m. but authorities urged the public to avoid areas where police were working, spokesperson Lindsay Corcoran said.
