[Updated at 3:13 p.m. ET] A suspect in a Monday morning shooting that wounded one person on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University is in custody, a school spokesman said.
Officials called off a lockdown, which had been in effect as SWAT teams and other law enforcement authorities converged on the campus, after the suspect was detained around 12:45 p.m., the university's media relations director, Tom Tozer, said. A gun allegedly used in the incident has also been confiscated.
Authorities were alerted at 11:51 a.m. about a shooting in a science building located in a cluster of university structures.
"From what I understand, there were two men who got into an argument over by some of our buildings," Tozer said. "One shot the other in the hand, then took off."

It was in front of our student union building, reported from someone who was actually there.
This is crazy. We are all on lockdown right now. Minor injuries to the victim (thank God), but the shooter has not been apprehended yet.
ok look, the shooting was in front of the KUC. two guys got into an argument and one of the guys pulled out a gun and shot the other in the finger. the whole school is on lockdown. the police are here with M4s.
Go run out to them and say "hi."
^ Christina. Are you on something? Are you aware that the South is also called the Bible Belt?
Actually, Christina is off her meds.
Well, the South can thank Christina for proving that all the crazies live up North.
It must be something they put in their water up there.
It happened outside the Business & Aerospace Building (2 buildings away from the campus student union center). I was outside, in front of the KUC for a fundraiser when we heard the shot, having never heard gunfire, it sounded like a firework.
Come on don't tell me it's Arab too ??

I'd like to think that hell is a place where you don't get anything you want. If you want evil and mischief then God will surround you with goodness and conformity. Then god will laugh as you squirm. I would.
ever notice how the crazies always go after innocents instead of people somewhat responsible for their miserable life?
Hello there, simply was alert to your weblog thru Google, and saw that it's really informative. I am going to be careful for honeybadgers. I'll appreciate should you continue this in future. A lot of other people might be benefited from your writing. See ya
Have you EVER heard of the bible belt?
Middle Tennessee is actually the belt buckle of the Bible Belt...
Doesn't your so called beloved god forbid you from spewing hate messages? Let alone, using technology? Aren't computers a tool of your so called devil? Sounds like you are a bit of a hypocrit there Christina.
What do you have against the south? If anything I would say the south is in heaven right now, seeing as how we have this lovely weather while you northerns are suffering through one hellish winter.
