Reports of a shooting happened shortly before 10 a.m. at Boelter Hall. The entire campus was placed on lockdown and students were told to shelter in place.
Los Angeles police officers in tactical gear and campus police entered the building and began searching for a shooter.
Two men were found dead inside an office in the building suffering from gunshot wounds. It was unclear if the two men were employees, students or visitors.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said the shooting appeared to be a murder-suicide and a note was found, but would not elaborate if it was a suicide note.

The FBI and ATF also responded to the scene. Several surrounding elementary and middle schools in the area were also placed on lockdown as a precaution.
The lockdown was lifted around 12:20 p.m. and classes were canceled for the day, but were expected to resume Thursday.
