Welcome to meet the press now. I'm Kristen Welker in Washington. We are following the breaking news out of Tallahassee, where a shooting at Florida State University has claimed the life of one person and injured six others.

We're expecting a news conference from officials in just a few moments.

Police say one person is in custody, no word yet on a motive.

We do not know the identity of the shooter or the person killed.

Officials in Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare say they are treating one victim in critical condition and five others in serious condition.

Now, this all happened around noon today when the university sent students in alert, urging them to seek shelter in response to a shooting near the student union.

A short time ago, Tallahassee police confirmed the campus has been secured, but this was the scene on campus as students evacuated.

You can see them walking down the hall with their hands in the air.

One eyewitness who was still sheltering in place described the police presence on campus in response to the shooting.

In terms of right now, there are U.S. Marshals out here. There's actually

people with their hands up right outside my window walking into the Carraway building. There's a man

there with a vest and a sniper. And all around me, I can see as far as I can, nothing but blue

lights from the police presence. It's only grown since I have been sitting here.

Now speaking in the Oval Office while hosting the Italian Prime Minister, President Trump said he was

fully briefed on the situation.

I've been briefed on the Florida State University, Tallahassee.

Active shooting. I guess it's an active shooter.

Fully briefed as to where we are right now, it's a shame.

It's a horrible thing, horrible that things like this take place.

And we'll have more to say about it later.

Joining me now is NBC News Law Enforcement and Intelligence correspondent Tom Winter,

and NBC News correspondent George Solis is following this story from Miami.
