Authorities confirmed Tuesday afternoon that a shooting at the Kentucky State University (KSU) campus in Frankfort claimed the life of at least one victim, with another transported to a hospital in “stable but critical” condition.

Frankfort Police shared during a news briefing that the two victims, both KSU students, each had gunshot wounds.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear first announced that the shooting had occurred at KSU via X, sharing that the suspect has been arrested. He later added the shooting appears to be “an isolated incident.”

“The shooting that took place today at Kentucky State University appears to be an isolated incident – not a mass shooting,” Beshear wrote. “The suspect has been arrested, and there is no ongoing threat.”

“Two individuals were critically injured, and I am sad to share that one has now passed away,” Beshear added in his post with a video address attached.

“We are aware of a reported shooting at Kentucky State University in Frankfort,” Beshear announced earlier in the afternoon. “At this time, we are aware of some injuries. We will share more information as available.” 

“Law enforcement are on scene, and a suspect has been arrested. Let’s pray for all those affected,” he concluded.

Frankfort Police Department confirmed in a social media post that it responded to “an active aggressor” on the KSU campus around 3:30 p.m. local time Tuesday. 

Later, police announced “one person is deceased” and “one has been transported to the hospital in stable but critical condition,” with the suspect remaining in custody.

Police said both the department and university will share more information as it becomes available.

The Frankfort Sheriff’s Office wrote via Facebook that they “secured the campus and have a suspect in custody.”

The campus stayed under lockdown during the investigation, but there are “no active safety concerns on campus at this time” according to Assistant Chief of Frankfort Police Scott Tracy.

According to local reports citing police, the shooting occurred in a residence hall on campus.

Fox News Digital has contacted the KSU and Frankfort police for further comment.
