The College of Pharmacy, College of Nursing, Life Sciences North and the Basic Sciences buildings are all closed due to this morning's shootings in a classroom at the College of Nursing.

The gunman has been identified as Robert Stewart Flores, listed in the UA phonebook as a senior nursing student, said Lori Schenkel, a fifth-semester nursing student.

Flores walked into the classroom at about 8:40 a.m. while a nursing class was taking a test. He released the students in the classroom before he began shooting.

Flores said something to one professor and then shot her three times and then did the same to another female professor in the room.

Flores shot and killed a third person before killing himself. The names of the victims are being withheld pending notification of the victim's families.

Students and faculty of these buildings were evacuated and taken to the Swede Johnson Building by bus.

The UMC emergency department is asking that trauma patients be taken to Tucson Medical Center or another hospital, said Kate Jenson, UMC hospital spokesperson. Anyone that does show up at UMC with trauma injuries will be treated, she said.

Everyone at the University Medical Center is working. UMC advised anyone with a doctor's appointment today at UMC not to come and instead reschedule, Jenson said.

By tomorrow, UMC is expecting everything to be back to normal.

Tucson Medical Center experienced a slightly busier Monday morning, but has zero trauma patients, said Mike Letson, TMC media relations spokesman.

"We're fortunate that Monday mornings are not that busy usually," Letson said.

College of Nursing faculty not in UMC are still attempting to work.

"The whole thing is just sickening," said Sandy McGinnis, an administrative assistant at the college of nursing located at 1801 E. Elm St. "It's been really hard to work."

Majorie Isenberg, Dean of the College of Nursing is out of town today. Linda was in Marana at the time of the shootings and heard the news on the car radio.

She is now at the Swede Johnson Building with the evacuated students, McGinnis said.

Nursing faculty and counselors are working to calm students.

Two nursing students attempted to email and call home to China to assure their families they were okay, McGinnis said.

Faculty and counselors are standing by to help students who are upset and need to talk, McGinnis said.
