PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) — An unidentified gunman opened fire on a group students on a rural campus of the University of Panama Friday, leaving one person dead and one wounded, according to the school’s rector.

He did not specify whether the person killed or the person wounded were students. He also did not say what happened to the shooter.
