Authorities immediately moved to lock down the campus, and the college was in a state of emergency for hours.
An extensive search was made for the shooter, however, the school's president, Stephen Greiner, reported that after all the buildings were thoroughly searched there was still no sign of the killer.
Police spokesman Tony Watts has reported that following the incident two people attended the Kentucky State Police Station in Hazard.
He was unable to immediately confirm at the time whether the two people were actual suspects or whether they were just witnesses of the crime. However, later on reports emerged that one of the two was allegedly the shooter and the other person was a relative of the suspect.
