The university confirmed Friday morning that two people were shot and killed at Campbell Hall, an on-campus dormitory. The two victims were not university students, according to the school. The Detroit Free Press reported the two were the parents of a student police have identified as a person of interest in the case, 19-year-old James Eric Davis Jr.

The gunman remained at large Friday afternoon.

Western Michigan athletic director Kathy Beauregard said on Twitter that the Broncos' traveling party was "safely locked into their hotel until futher notice."

The Central-Western game is the regular-season finale for both teams, with the Mid-American Conference tournament set to begin Monday in Cleveland.
