Police said that her husband arrived there, and after they fought, he pulled a gun and shot her before turning the weapon on himself, WPXI reported.

The incident was reported before 4 p.m. local time in the campus food service area near the student union, campus spokeswoman April Johnston-Smith told CBS.

No students were involved.

The campus was closed on Wednesday, and ambulances were spotted arriving.

The campus is located about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.
