Tense situation: A gunman opened fire at Florida State University on Thursday, injuring two as cops rushed to the scene

A gunman opened fire at Florida State University, injuring two before being shot dead by authorities.

The shooting happened just after midnight in the early hours of Thursday at the Strozier library, located on the Tallahassee, Florida campus of the popular university.

Students are slowly being evacuated from nearby dorms after being on lockdown, as well as the library, being told to exit with their hands up.

The two individuals who have been shot are being treated at Tallahassee Memorial for their wounds.

CBS News reports that all students on campus received a text saying, '*FSU ALERT!* Dangerous Situation! Main Campus - Tallahassee. Seek shelter immediately, away from doors and windows.'

While it is being reported the gunman was killed, their identity is not yet known at this time.

According to Mary Coburn, vice president of student affairs, the gunman was shot and killed by FSUPD.

Roughly 40,000 students are enrolled at Florida State University, the largest university in the state.
