A police dispatcher told The Associated Press the?shooting?happened about 5:30 p.m. at Hazard Community & Technical?College?in Hazard, Ky. The dispatcher, who was not authorized to release information, spoke on condition of anonymity.

Two people showed up at the?Kentucky?State Police post in Hazard and said they were involved in the shooting, police spokesman Tony Watts said, but he said he did not know whether they were alleged perpetrators or witnesses. State police held the two until Hazard police came and took them into custody, he said.

Conor Duff, the?college's?evening coordinator, said the school was on lockdown following the?shooting?at the campus, 90 miles southeast of Lexington. Police searched the school's two buildings and determined that no one else was at risk, Duff said.

Classes had resumed Monday at the campus after the holiday break, according to the?college's?website, which also posted that there had been an incident and asked students to stay away from the main campus.

The?college's?academic programs range from associate's degrees in arts and sciences to career-focused training in mining technology and heavy-equipment operation.
