BREAKING NEWS UPDATE – Shooter Still At Large

12:41 p.m.

Authorities are sweeping buildings at a college in Mississippi where a professor was killed, searching for the shooter who remains at large.

Bill Hays, an English professor at Delta State University, says a SWAT team checked his office Monday while looking for the shooter. Another professor, Don Allan Mitchell, says officers were sweeping buildings as helicopters circled overhead.

The campus remains on lockdown with the shooter on the loose.

Murray Roark, a deputy coroner in Bolivar County, says the professor killed Monday was a white man in his 50s. He would not identify the professor, who was killed in an office inside Jobe Hall.

The 3,500-student university is in Cleveland, in Mississippi’s Delta region near the Arkansas-Mississippi state line.
