A manhunt is on for the gunman.

Two people have died following a mass shooting in Texas.

The shooting took place at an off-campus Texas A&M University-Commerce party.

The shooting also left at least 14 others injured.

It took place just before midnight on Saturday (local time), and a single shooter is still said to be on the loose.

There was approximately 750 people at the party, which was not a school sanctioned event.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and friends of those affected by this morning’s shooting in Greenville”, Texas A&M University-Commerce said in a statement.

It is unclear whether any of the victims of the shootings are students of the college, as the local police department are trying to establish their identities.
