(AP Photo/Bruce Smith) Two people died today in an apparent murder-suicide on the University of South Carolina's campus, a shooting state law enforcement authorities called "very isolated." The state's flagship university said in two alerts via its emergency system and Twitter that a shooting had occurred at the new School of Public Health, in a busy section of downtown Columbia. State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry said in a brief news conference that the two people were found in the public health building but would not say where. The shooting happened a couple of blocks from the Statehouse in downtown Columbia; the State notes that Gov. Nikki Haley cut short a press conference over security concerns.
