Police search for Delaware State University shooter 　　(CNN) -- Police combed the Delaware State University campus on Friday for a man who shot two students, leaving a woman in a "potentially life-threatening" condition, a school spokesman said.　　The university was on lockdown after the shootings near the Memorial Hall sports arena, which university police said were reported Friday at 12:54 a.m. ET .　　"Until the suspect is apprehended, students, faculty and staff are being directed to remain in their buildings until further notice," a school statement said.　　The female student was shot twice; the male was shot once, said spokesman Carlos Holmes. They were taken to Bayhealth Medical Center in Dover, Delaware's capital.　　Several law enforcement agencies were aiding the search, he said.　　Police "are developing some leads," Holmes said. "They seem to be making some progress and we're hoping for an arrest soon."　　Commuter student Eduardo Rivera, 25, of Milford, told The Associated Press that he had considered the campus safe.　　"I'm shocked," Rivera told AP Friday as he arrived at the shut-down school. "I don't expect to hear something like this when I'm trying to go to class -- it's weird."　　No one is being allowed in or out of campus dormitories while university and city police pursue the suspect, the school statement said. The school houses about 1,700 students.　　Police said they planned to interview the victims for more information, according to AP. "We haven't had a chance to talk to them yet, and that's probably a big reason why the suspect is still at large," said Holmes on KYW-TV, according to AP.　　Immediately after the shooting, Holmes said, the university posted "timely warning notifications" in residential halls, on Web sites and on campus phone messages.　　"Any time you pick up a phone you automatically hear a message that lets you know the situation," Holmes said. "We've used everything we have at our disposal."　　University personnel and students can check the status of the situation on the campus Web site at www.desu.edu and by calling (302) 857-7669.　　An investigation report released in August criticized officials at Virginia Polytechnic Institute after the shooting deaths of dozens of students on April 16. An independent investigative panel that released its assessment concluded that more timely and specific information by Virginia Tech officials might have saved lives.　　Seung-Hui Cho, 23, killed 32 students and staff at Virginia Polytechnic before killing himself. Seventeen others were wounded in the shootings.　　The university was struck by tragedy last month when three teens who were either enrolled at Delaware State or in the process of doing so were shot to death execution-style in a Newark, New Jersey, school yard. Another teen was wounded.　　The university was founded in 1890 as the State College for Colored Students, a land grant college for agriculture and mechanical arts. The school now considers itself diversified.　　The 400-acre main campus is located on the north side of Dover, Delaware's capital.　　Delaware State University is about two hours away from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; and Washington, and three hours away from New York City.　　AP: 2 students shot at Delaware State 　　DOVER, Del. - Two students were shot and wounded, one seriously, at Delaware State University early Friday, and the campus was locked down as police searched for a gunman, officials said.　　Classes were canceled for the day and students were being kept inside.　　"They've been directed to stay in their dorms," university spokesman Carlos Holmes said. "We don't know where the shooter's at."　　At the university's main entrance, swing-arm gates were down to prevent people from driving onto campus.　　The students were shot near the Memorial Hall gymnasium around 1 a.m., according to a news release on the university's Web site.　　Holmes said the female student appeared to have suffered serious wounds. "They could be potentially life-threatening," he said. The male student's wounds were not as serious and he was hospitalized in stable condition, Holmes said.　　Police hoped to find out more information once the victims were able to talk.　　"We haven't had a chance to talk to them yet, and that's probably a big reason why the suspect is still at large," Holmes told KYW-TV of Philadelphia.　　Authorities did not know of a motive for the shootings, which were also being investigated by state police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Holmes said.　　He said he was not aware of any big parties on campus Thursday night, although there was a rally organized to honor the so-called Jena Six, six black teenagers charged in a school fight in Louisiana.　　"It was a very peaceful, very nice rally, very positive," Holmes said, adding there was no reason to believe the rally was connected to the shootings.　　Students were instructed to stay in their residence halls until further notice, and nonessential university employees were told not to report to work.　　University officials informed students about the shooting with phone calls, a notice posted on the campus Web site and notifications in each dormitory. Holmes said Delaware State had improved the speed of its notifications following the shootings in April at Virginia Tech.　　The Dover campus was surrounded Friday by groups of recreational vehicles belonging to NASCAR fans in town for this weekend's races at the Dover Downs Speedway.　　A commuter student who arrived Friday morning was barred from campus. Eduardo Rivera, 25, of Milford, said he hadn't known about the shootings and was surprised by the media gathered outside the main gate.　　"I thought it was about racing, or NASCAR, or something like that," he said. "I'm shocked. I don't expect to hear something like this when I'm trying to go to class ― it's weird."　　Rivera, a sophomore studying physical education and sports management, said he had felt the campus was safe.　　At the start of the fall semester, the campus community held a memorial service for three students and an incoming student shot execution-style Aug. 4 as they hung out at an elementary school in their hometown of Newark, N.J. Natasha Aeriel, 19; her brother, Terrance Aeriel, 18, and Dashon Harvey, 20, were students. Iofemi Hightower, 20, had planned to attend Delaware State this fall. Natasha Aeriel, the only survivor, helped police identify six suspects who have been arrested.　　Delaware State was established in 1891 as the State College for Colored Students. It had about 3,690 students last year. The 400-acre campus is in the northern section of Dover, across the street from the racetrack.
