Pennsylvania state police Lt Eric Hermick tells WTAE-TV multiple shots were fired Wednesday afternoon near a Penn State Beaver dining hall.

An officer heard the shots and lots of screaming and responded to the scene. He found the food services worker and her estranged husband dead beside her car.

Penn State Beaver later issued an alert that shots were fired, saying the situation was contained and there was "no threat."

Hermick says there was never a threat to the general campus population.

About 650 students attend the school, but not many were on campus because it's finals week.
