30. The detail about the engineering lab came from an eyewitness in the building.

She called in and was giving her account on KOMO. She knew many of the people who were running away from the gunfire, but was not on the same floor when it began (shooting happened on the second floor, she was on the first). Two of the victims were students that she knew well, they tried to give aid to the injured before they were brought downstairs, while swat searched the building. One may have been faculty, but she couldn't see his face.

Harborview is now saying that they're expecting another victim to arrive there and King County Jail seems to be processing a suspect.

All details taken with grain of salt, til the actual report is released. Press conference coming up soon.

I did know SPU fairly well, from years ago when I lived down there; I had a couple of friends who attended and graduated. It was a nice little school back then.
