Here’s a look at the building where the homecoming party was being held.

Two people were killed and several were injured in a shooting late Saturday at a party celebrating Texas A&M University-Commerce’s homecoming weekend, according to authorities.

University spokesman Michael Johnson confirmed to WFAA-TV that a shooting had occurred at an off-campus party in Greenville, located about 15 miles southwest of the Commerce campus.

The party was not part of the school’s sanctioned homecoming festivities, Johnson said, adding that it remained unknown whether any students were injured in the attack.

Hunt County Chief Deputy Buddy Oxford told reporters early Sunday that the shooting had occurred “abruptly” just before midnight at the event, which had been attended by at least 750 people.

Officials said they believed a semi-automatic rifle was used in the attack. The suspect remains at large.
