On Sunday morning, officials took a person into custody that two people familiar with the matter identified as a 24-year-old man from Wisconsin whose name was not released by authorities. University president Christina Paxson teared up while describing her conversations with students both on campus and in the hospital. Two handguns were recovered when the person of interest was taken into custody and authorities also found two loaded 30-round magazines, the official said. One of the nine wounded students had been released from the hospital, said Ms Paxson.
