DOVER, Delaware (AP):

Two students were shot and wounded, one seriously, at Delaware State University early yesterday, and the campus was locked down as police searched for a gunman, officials said.

Police had identified two students as "persons of interest," and was questioning one of them, university Police Chief James Overton said.

The students were apparently returning from a cafe with a group of other students when they were shot, Overton said. The male student was wounded in the ankle and refused to answer questions by police about the shootings, the official said, raising the likelihood that he knew his attacker.

Classes were cancelled 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."
