The second shooting was reported at Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) at 8th and Chestnut streets around 11 a.m., according to LMPD spokesman Aaron Ellis.

We can confirm there was a shooting OUTSIDE of the Technical Campus Building A, and there is no active aggressor on our campuses. All Jefferson campuses are clear with the exception of the Technical Campus, which will remain on lockdown due to police protocol.

When more information is available, we will provide it.”
