Police in Pulaski, Tenn., say a student was wounded when a gunman started firing inside an apartment building on a college campus.

According to Pulaski Police Chief John Dickey, a man went inside a residential building at Martin Methodist College around 10 p.m. Sunday and shot one person in front of several witnesses.

Grant Vosburgh, spokesman for the college about 70 miles south of Nashville, said the student was treated at a local hospital and released. Classes resumed Monday morning.

Dickey said as of Monday morning they were still searching for the gunman and have not determined whether he is a student at the college.

Martin Methodist has 1,000 students and is affiliated with the Tennessee Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
