Northern Arizona University shooting: 1 dead, 3 wounded in shooting at NAU

A Northern Arizona University student is dead and three others are injured after a shooting on campus early Friday morning.
NAU officials have identified the student killed as freshman Colin Brough, of Colorado. Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring, also freshmen, are currently being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center. Their current conditions are unclear.
NAU tweeted out just before 3 a.m. that the suspect, Steven Jones, was in custody. The 18-year-old has been booked into jail on one count of first degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. He made his initial court appearance at 1 p.m. Friday.

A court document says Jones retrieved a gun from his car following a fistfight.

He told NAU police that several people approached him and two of his friends as they were outside a residence early Friday. He said a fight ensued and he was punched in the face.

Jones says he was chased by several people as he ran to his car and then he yelled at them that he had a gun.

As two people approached him, Jones says he shot both of them.

Witnesses say the victims were about 10 feet away.

Jones told police that he used a flashlight affixed to the gun to illuminate the area before firing.

Witnesses say none of the victims appeared to be armed.

"Steven was taken into custody by NAU PD. He stopped his action with his handgun and everything calmed down for a few minutes as our officer arrived,” he said.

Jones and Zientek both attended Mountain Ridge High School in Glendale, according to Deer Valley Unified School District.
