Shooting Near Coastal Carolina University Campus

Another campus disrupted by a fatal shooting:
CONWAY, S.C -- Classes were canceled Monday at Coastal Carolina University and students were urged to stay indoors because of a fatal shooting near campus.

It's not clear whether the victim was a student, university spokesman Doug Bell said.

The assailant has not been caught. "Because it is so close to campus and a good many students do live over there, we are taking precautions," Bell said.

Classes are canceled until 7 a.m. Tuesday. Students were urged to stay inside through a text message alert and a notice posted on the school Web site.

One man died in the shooting, Horry County Police Sgt. Bob Carr told The (Myrtle Beach) Sun News.
