Police investigating shots fired at University of Arizona; shell casings, blood found

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Police are looking for a person of interest after finding shell casings and blood while responding to a report of shots fired at the University of Arizona on Wednesday night.


University of Arizona Police Department officers found the casings near the Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch building.

A police spokesman says a person called in saying they heard three shots fired and then screaming or yelling.

Sgt. Filbert Barrera, a UAPD public information officer, says dispatch was able to find footage on campus cameras.

Police say they are looking for a 5-foot-10-inch man wearing a Chicago Bulls hat, white shirt, khaki pants and a tan backpack.

Berrera says the hospitals have not reported any gunshot victims.
