Arizona Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick stated, “Those of us who call Flagstaff home know that NAU is the heart of our community”.
The injured students are being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center. Our Abbey was holding the other, second one shot, and was calling 911 as Nick was shot.
A fraternity based in Ohio said a few of its members were involved in the shooting.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who lives in Flagstaff, expressed confidence that the city “will only grow stronger in hard moments like these”.
It was the second fatal shooting on a USA college campus on Friday. The information I have seen on social media is that Nick was shot in the neck and is now in the hospital receiving the necessary care for his injuries.
The gunman in that case, Chris Harper-Mercer, 26, killed nine people before killing himself, according to police. Shooter is in custody.
“Details confirmed 4 victims, 1 fatality, 3 wounded”.
Mr Sherman said it was an isolated incident and not fraternity-related.
The first was an early morning fight between two groups of students at the Northern Arizona University which escalated into gunfire.
Brough attended Broadneck High School during his freshman and sophomore years, Anne Arundel school spokesman Bob Mosier told ABC2.
NAU Police Department reassured the public that this was not like the mass shooting that happened at Umpqua Community College.
