Police say the shooting on a St. Louis college campus that wounded a school employee April 20 was motivated by road rage.
Clayton police are still searching for the man who shot a food service worker on Washington University’s campus around 1:30 p.m., according to the Winnipeg Free Press.
The victim was riding in a car on the road that separates the main campus from the primary residential housing area when a man fired several shots from another car. The victim, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital where she is expected to survive.
The shooting sparked a 90-minute lockdown and emergency alerts as school officials and police tried to get more information on the incident. At 3 p.m., a university alert lifted the lockdown and advised students to “resume your normal activities.”
Many students described their fear after hearing several gunshots ring across a crowded quad on campus and subsequent emergency sirens. Students also quickly received alerts from the university instructing them to shelter in place.

“Everybody was freaking out,” said freshman Jordan Isikow, who ran inside a psychology building after hearing the shots.
Washington University, which enrolls around 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students, has a police department that employs 52 officers, including 28 deputized police.
