(CNN)Two campus officers were shot and killed Tuesday during an active shooter situation at Bridgewater College in Virginia, according to college spokesperson Logan Bogert.
"I can confirm that a campus police officer and a campus safety officer died from gunshot wounds today," Bogert told CNN's Josh Campbell.
College President David Bushman, in a message on the school's Facebook page, called the shootings an "unspeakable tragedy."
One student was dead and another in critical condition after a shooting Tuesday outside a school near Minneapolis, officials said.
Officers were called to the South Education Center at 12:07 p.m., and upon arrival, discovered "two students had been shot on the sidewalk outside of the school, Richfield Police Chief Jay Henthorne said.
Henthorne said the suspects fled "immediately," and area schools were locked down. After a search of South Education Center, police determined that "no further threat existed" and other lockdowns were lifted.
Police said Tuesday night that two people had been arrested and a handgun had been recovered.
Uken Cummings was doing what many people do every day. The 78-year-old Orlando man was picking up his prescriptions at a local CVS and heading back to his car in the parking lot.
The great-grandfather never make it out of the lot.
According to Orange County deputies, Cummings was gunned down in the parking lot on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 30, as he was returning to his car.
“He was confronted by two suspects who shot him and took the keys to his vehicle.
While he lay on the ground, these brazen killers backed the car over him and then ran him over again while fleeing the scene in his Mercedes,”
Orange County Sheriff’s deputies said in a statement.
On Thursday, the department announced that two arrests have been made in the murder of Cummings, and released video of the pair being taken into custody.
1 dead, others wounded in Northern California bus attack
OROVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A shooting on a Greyhound bus in Northern California killed one person and injured several others before the attacker was arrested inside a nearby Walmart, police said Wednesday night.
Police received 911 calls shortly after 7:30 p.m. that someone was shooting inside a bus outside a convenience store in the small city of Oroville, north of Sacramento, according to a statement from the Butte County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies and Oroville police officers found several people with gunshot wounds and one died at the scene despite lifesaving measures, the sheriff's office said.
The attacker had run off before officers arrived but acting on 911 calls, they located the suspect inside a Walmart and took him into custody, authorities said.
The number of people shot and their conditions weren't immediately made public, although Oroville Mayor Chuck Reynolds said earlier on Facebook that said five people had been shot at the convenience store site.
Other details of the shooting, including a motive, weren't immediately released.
Oroville is about 65 miles (104 kilometers) north of Sacramento.
