Authorities investigating the apparent suicide of a college student have discovered weapons and explosive devices in a dormitory at the University of Central Florida.
Hundreds of students were evacuated from the Orlando campus, though the school said there was no immediate threat.
University police were called to the dorm around 12.20am after a fire alarm went off, UCF spokesman Grant Heston said. While they were on their way to the scene, a 911 call came in about a man with a gun.
Arriving officers found a male student dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a residence at the Tower 1 dorm.
Police also found what they described as an assault weapon, a handgun and improvised explosive devices.
Mr Heston said the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the FBI are helping with the investigation. The sheriff's bomb squad was examining the explosive devices.
About 500 students were evacuated from the dorm, and an adjacent parking garage was closed initially, but Mr Heston said officials "don't believe there is any imminent threat to the campus".
The university cancelled classes through midday as a precaution.
Antonio Whitehead, a 21-year-old junior at the school, said he heard the fire alarm go off after midnight and thought it was a routine alarm. He headed outside where he saw a crowd already heading across the street from the dorm.
He said: "All of a sudden, I felt the crowd move a little faster. And a police officer with a machine gun or something told everyone to start moving a lot faster."
