Last updated on Monday, September 29, 2014

(TERRE HAUTE) - Campus police at Indiana State University in Terre Haute say a student who was shot on campus was the sole intended target of the attack.

Police Chief Joe Newport says the shooting early Saturday evening took place in a stairwell of a residence hall on campus. Newport says that the shooter fled the scene and that police don't believe there's a further threat to the campus community.

Newport says the victim is a second-year student who was taken to a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Police Chief Joe Newport says in a news release that 21-year-old Calvin McCauley of Indianapolis was arrested Sunday on a preliminary charge of attempted murder. Newport says McCauley is scheduled to make a preliminary court appearance Monday.

It is not immediately clear if McCauley has an attorney.

Investigators determined that McCauley and the shooting victim are acquainted and that they had spent time together before the shooting about 6 p.m. Saturday at the Lincoln Quad residence hall.

Newport says the 20-year-old victim underwent surgery Sunday to remove a bullet from his left buttock, is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery.
