One person was seriously injured in a shooting Monday night at a Clayton State University student apartment building.

The shooting at the Clayton Station Apartments happened shortly after 8 p.m. in the 3000 building of the Clayton Station Apartments, university spokeswoman Maritza E. Ferreira said in a statement.

The victim is not a student, but is believed to be the relative of a student, Ferreira said. Police were still searching for the suspect Monday night, she added.

Clayton State Public Safety is investigating, along with Clayton County police and the GBI.

“Any harm to any person on our campus is heartbreaking,” Clayton State president Tim Hynes said in a statement released by the university. “Law enforcement will continue to investigate the incident. We will assist them in every way and we will share information as it becomes available.”

Clayton State University is located at 2000 Clayton State Blvd. in Morrow.
