    Man Opens Fire at Cleveland University

    CLEVELAND (AP) -- A gunman opened fire Friday at the business school at Case
    Western Reserve University, a school spokesperson said. Two people were
    reported injured.
    Spokeswoman Marcie Hersh said the lone gunman was still in the building,
    which had been locked down. One person had been shot outside and was taken
    to a hospital, and the other wounded person remained inside the building.
    Squad cars surrounded the block, and officers had guns aimed at the Peter B.
    Lewis Building, said William Day, a student at the Cleveland Institute of
    Music who was passing by.
    Bonnie Copes, an administrative assistant, said she heard several gunshots
    beginning around 4 p.m.
    Copes was locked in a department office inside the building and unable to
    leave. Contacted by phone, she said two people were hurt, according to her
    department chairman, Richard Boyatzis.
    She said emergency medical workers could not get in to help the two people.
    She said she continued to hear gunshots.
    ``Rounds and rounds and rounds,'' she said.
    The $62 million Peter B. Lewis Building opened in the fall and was designed
    by Frank Gehry, the internationally renowned architect who also created the
    titanium-covered Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain.
    Case Western is at University Circle, a park-like setting of cultural,
    medical and educational institutions on the eastern edge of Cleveland. The
    school has 9,500 students.
    The Lewis building is about five stories high. Instead of walls on the south
    side, it has a curving roof, made of 20,000 stainless-steel shingles, that
    seemingly tumbles to the ground.
    Lewis, an art collector and the billionaire chairman of Progressive
    Insurance, gave Case $37 million toward construction of the building, which
    opened in the fall.
