Campus Police Chief Thomas Trawick said the wounded student knew the suspect and that the shooting Friday morning happened during a fight between them.

The suspect was identified as 19-year-old Devon McIntosh. A police dog sniffed him out and officers found him hiding in the trunk of a car on campus.

The wounded student's name has not been released.

The campus of 3,400 students along Georgia's coast was locked down but reopened after the gunman was in custody. A SWAT team briefly surrounded a dormitory.
