ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A college student was among the two people shot and killed at an apartment complex near UNC Pembroke over the weekend.

The shooting happened Saturday morning at The Commons At Pembroke Apartment Complex.

"The loss of any life, especially so young and to senseless gun violence such as this is something that impacts us all," Cummings said in a letter to the university.

The other person who was killed in the shooting has not been identified.

"I know many of our students likely knew him, and I want to assure you that his loss is recognized," Cummings said.

Three other men and one woman were also injured in the shooting.
