Fatal shooting reported near Coastal Carolina University
CONWAY, S.C. --Classes were canceled Monday at Coastal Carolina University and students were urged to stay indoors because of a fatal shooting near campus.

It's not clear whether the victim was a student, university spokesman Doug Bell said.

The assailant has not been caught. "Because it is so close to campus and a good many students do live over there, we are taking precautions," Bell said.

Classes are canceled until 7 a.m. Tuesday.
