Three people were killed and five others were critically injured – all of them students – when a gunman opened fire on the campus, according to media reports.

Hours after the attack, the university police said they found the suspect dead off campus with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The gunman did not appear to be affiliated with the university, and a motive for the attack had not yet been established, police said.

The gunman had been previously arrested on a weapons charge, and had a note on him that threatened schools in New Jersey, The New York Times reported.

The Chinese consulate reached out to the Chinese Students Association at the university, urging the students to be extra cautious and contact the police or the consulate if they felt in danger.
