Police revealed Sunday the identities of two people found shot and killed in a dorm room at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, the victims were identified as 26-year-old Celie Montgomery and 24-year-old Samuel Knopp after being found dead when police responded to a report of a shooting around 6 a.m.
Police didn't revealed any details about a suspect or a motive, but confirmed that Knopp was a student.
Police said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident between people they knew, and not a random attack against the school.
“At this point in our investigation, this incident does not appear to be a murder-suicide and both deaths are being investigated as homicides,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media Friday evening.
A lockdown across campus lasted for about 90 minutes and later was isolated to a student apartment complex on campus, school spokesperson Chris Valentine said.
Classes remain cancelled for Monday as the investigation continues.
