Two people were fatally shot when a gunman opened fire inside a Michigan university building early Friday morning, police said.

Central Michigan University police confirmed to Fox News the two people were killed when the gunman opened fire inside Campbell Hall on campus. No other injuries were reported.

Police identified the gunman as 19-year-old James Eric Davis Jr., who is still at large and considered “armed and dangerous.”

“The deceased are not students and police believe the situation started from a domestic situation,” police said in a tweet.

Officials said described Davis as being approximately 5 foot 9 inches tall. He is wearing yellow-colored jeans and a blue hoodie with a weapon tucked in his belt.

Police said Davis was taken to a local hospital Thursday night with a drug-related injury, but would not elaborate more.
