A man has died and another three people have been injured after a shooting at a university campus in Seattle.
The incident happened at Seattle Pacific University in Washington state and a suspect is in custody.
Police in the city said the lone gunman, who opened fire with a shotgun, was pepper-sprayed by a student security guard and disarmed as he was reloading.

One student told a local television channel, KIRO 7 TV, that he heard a loud bang from a nearby classroom which his teacher initially thought was a science experiment.
The student, identified as Blake, said someone went out and came back and said: "I think someone's been shot."

Another student, Jillian Smith, was taking a maths test when a lockdown was ordered.
After being locked in the classroom for around 45 minutes, police officers came to lead them out of the building.
Ms Smith said that on the way out she saw bullet casings and what appeared to be blood on the lobby carpet.
Fire engines at the university "Seeing blood made it real," she said.
"I didn't think something like this would happen at our school."
The university said on its website: "Our heartfelt prayers are with our entire community. All evening classes are cancelled."
Around 4,000 students attend the Christian university, which is about 10 minutes from downtown Seattle.
