At one point, a team in tactical gear stormed into a building, and more than a dozen police cars massed near Boelter Hall, an engineering building.<\/p>\n<p>People emerged from buildings with their hands raised or behind their heads. Police told people to stay away from the campus in a bustling part of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Two people were confirmed dead, LAPD Officer Aareon Jefferson told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>Campus media relations officer Rebecca Kendall said she did not know the whereabouts of the shooter.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting occurred the week before final exams at the school, the flagship of the University of California system with about 43,000 students.<\/p>\n<p>Many students posted to social media, many to let friends and family know they were safe. Some described frantic evacuation scenes and a large police response, others wrote of sitting in darkened rooms after barricading doors.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of police activity was a cluster of engineering buildings near the center of a campus that occupies 419 acres in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Bioengineering professor Denise Aberle said she could see &#8220;a lot of police activity with innumerable cars&#8221; and a police helicopter hovering over the engineering building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Police keep coming,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; Two people were shot and killed on the UCLA campus Wednesday morning, according to a Los Angeles Police Department&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[106,9995],"class_list":["post-27120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-fort-hays-state-university","tag-university-of-california-at-los-angeles"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27120"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27124,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27120\/revisions\/27124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
