PERM, Russia- Russian Police say a gunman killed multiple people after opening fire on a university campus in the eastern-Russia city of Perm, Monday.

According to ABC News, the shooting occurred at Perm State University and left at least eight people dead in addition to injuring several others.

Early Monday, there is conflicting information related to the gunman's condition.

While the state investigative committee says the suspected shooter resisted arrest but was wounded and eventually arrested, Perm's governor maintains that the suspect was killed.

In recounting details of the campus shooting, authorities said the suspect entered Perm State University campus "with an offensive weapon" and began shooting.

Amid the chaos, some students and teachers locked themselves in classrooms, according to the state media agency, RIA Novosti.

Video posted on social media showed panicked students jumping out of windows at Perm State University to escape the massacre.
