Police confirmed on Thursday that three students were wounded and the gunman was killed in a shooting at Florida State University (FSU) library in the United States early morning.

The Florida State and Tallahassee police departments said the gunman entered the library and fired at hundreds of students at around 0:30 a.m., adding that police rushed to the site soon after and killed the gunman outside of the library.

One of the injured students is in critical condition and another is stable after being sent to a nearby hospital, the police said. The third victim, grazed by a bullet, was treated and released at the scene.

The gunman was identified as Myron May, a 2005 FSU graduate, the police said.

Further investigation into the motive of the shooting is still underway.

The FSU, with 40,000 students in various campuses, canceled all classes and exams Thursday in the wake of the shooting, but most campus buildings will remain open, FSU officials said.
