Three men were shot Thursday afternoon on the Sacramento City College campus.
One man was killed, and two others were injured. Rick Brewer, with the school's public information office, confirmed to FOX40 that one of the people involved was a student.
Students were told to shelter in place before evacuating each classroom one at a time.
Details about led up to the shooting are scarce, but school officials say there was a verbal argument immediately before.
Police say the shooter was described as a male Pacific Islander, with cargo shorts, no shirt and short, dark hair.
The shooting happened near the baseball field, which is on the south side of campus.

Investigators say the suspect description is similar to one from a shooting earlier in the afternoon on Gerber Road and Fernridge Drive, but a connection could not be confirmed
A door-to-door manhunt for an armed suspect who killed one man and severely wounded another at Sacramento City College is underway in the area of Sutterville Road and Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento.
Officials are warning residents to avoid the area as police search nearby neighborhoods and students are evacuated building by building from the college campus. The college has been on lockdown this afternoon with students and staff “sheltering in place.”
Police described the suspect as as a Pacific Islander, wearing cargo shorts and no shirt.
The shooting occurred in a staff parking lot near the softball field on the college campus. In total three people were shot, including a person who sustained a minor wound, officials said.
Kimberly Jenkins, 18, a college freshman, said she was coming out of class about 3:50 p.m., just as police were arriving.
“We saw the cop cars just zoom through,” the campus from all directions, she said.
Jackie Flores, 50, who lives across the street from the parking lot, said he heard four or five gunshots.
“It all happened so fast,” he said.
Shortly before 5 p.m., the body of the dead victim remained in the parking lot and about a dozen police cars were at the scene.
Twelfth Avenue and the area of Freeport Boulevard near Sutterville Road was closed to traffic.
