The Georgia Police Department said on October 23 local time that a shooting occurred at an off-campus gathering near Ford Valley State University in the United States, resulting in one death and seven injuries.

  The police department said that the deceased was not a student of Ford Valley State University.

The school stated that a student was injured in the shooting, but his life was not in danger.

  After the shooting, the campus was in a state of lockdown, and the lockdown was not lifted until the campus police confirmed that the campus community was not under threat.
