A former student of a St. Louis school shot his financial aid adviser and then himself, according to local reports.
The unidentified gunman, believed to be 21 years old, struck around 3 p.m. inside the Stevens Institute of Business and Arts in downtown St. Louis.
Nearly two dozen police officers rushed to the scene, a helicopter hovered overhead and roads around the institute were closed to traffic, according to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The paper reported that two men were hauled away in ambulances.
Local news broadcaster KSDK NewsChannel 5 tweeted that one person was found shot in the stairwell of the small school.
