Students frantically scrambled over desks for cover as about 30 rounds were fired across the hall. University authorities said that the gunman, who has been identified as a student, but not from the university, then turned the gun on himself. Campus police refused to release his name. The incident took place in Cole Hall near the King Commons, a central meeting point on the 25,000student campus.

While addressing mediapersons the DSP (Central), Mr S.S. Randhawa, said the accused was arrested from the Sector 15 market while he was returning from a stationery shop after buying the white fluid. He was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate and was later sent to the Sector 15 Juvenile Home. During the preliminary questioning, he revealed the names of two other accomplices aged between 18 and 19 years, who were also drug addicts. According to the DSP, the boy said they had planned the entire episode and were waiting for an opportunity to strike. On August 31, they entered into the victim's house at around 9 pm and committed the crime.
