AT least one student was killed and 11 people were wounded yesterday in a shooting incident near a college campus in the US state of Ohio, said local police.

Police said the shooting happened in a fraternity house near the Youngstown State University (YSU) campus. The university said that the one killed and the six injured are students from the university.

The shooting happened during a party early Sunday and no arrests have been made, according to local police.

The local police authorities identified the dead as 25-year-old Jamail E. Johnson, a senior of the YSU, after suffering gunshot wounds to the head and legs.

The 11 injured were taken to a nearby hospital, and eight of them have been treated and released by early afternoon, while the other injuries were not life-threatening, according to local authorities.

Cynthia Anderson, president of the university located in northeast Ohio, met students and their families at the hospital and called it "a sad day" for victims' families.
