There is "no further threat" on campus, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill told a press briefing.
A number of victims have been taken to hospitals, according to the police.
"This is an active investigation. Please continue to avoid the area and watch for responding emergency units," LVMPD said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Around noon local time, the university posted an emergency notice online, saying, "University Police responding to report of shots fire in BEH evacuate to a safe area, RUN-HIDE-FIGHT."
