The Port Karsten University ocurred on 13.XI.1700 AN at the main campus of Port Karsten University in Port Karsten, Isles of Caputia, in the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Six people were injured, three law enforcement officers were killed in an attempt to subdue the gunman.

Shooting

The shooter was followed by CCTV and other security cameras on the main campus of Port Karsten University, one of the largest private institutions of higher learning in the region of the Isles of Caputia. The shooter entered a building on campus around 9:00am, wielding a shotgun of as of yet unknown provenance. Camera footage shows the shooter being attacked by a security guard before the shooter overpowered the guard and killed him. The gunshots were heard throughout the building, which triggered nearby school administrators and teachers to react and call law enforcement and campus security to subdue the shooter.

The shooter walked through the Science and Technology Building shooting several students as they were trying to flee his path. Students and teachers inside the building barricaded themselves inside their rooms and some escaped through the building's windows and through the fire escape routes available to them. Local law enforcement and Federal Gendarmerie arrived at the scene and sought to subdue the gunman, resulting in a gun fight that ended with two local law enforcement officers dying from gunshot wounds.

The shooter was apprehended by authorities and injured in the course of the gun fight, he was later taken to Port Karsten General Hospital for treatment with proper police escort. The shooter remains in critical condition at the Intensive Care Unit of Port Karsten General Hospital.
