Two men were killed and another injured in a shooting at the South Carolina State University residential complex late Thursday night. The university confirmed the incident occurred inside a room in the Hugine Suites complex, prompting a lockdown initiated around 9:15 PM and lasting until 5 AM the next morning, according to CBS News, Reuters, and Anadolu Agency.

Authorities revealed that one man died at the scene, while the other succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The identities of the victims and the condition of the third person remain undisclosed.
