(Reuters) - Two students at a college near Houston, Texas, were struck by gunfire on Tuesday after shooting broke out between two people on the campus, a college official said on CNN.

One of the shooters was in police custody, and the other had fled the campus of Lone Star College, college spokesman Jed Young said.

Young said the shooting erupted around 12:30 local time between two individuals, but it was unclear whether they were students.
