MANHATTAN — Law enforcement authorities in Riley County are investigating a report of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound of a K-State student on Sunday evening in a residence hall on the Manhattan campus, according to a media release.

The Kansas State University Police Department responded to the dorm. The name of the student has not been released.

The student was transported for medical treatment and is in stable condition.

The Kansas State University Office of Student Life and Counseling Services is offering counseling and assistance to students and employees.

Firearms aren’t currently allowed in campus buildings or residence halls, although that’s on track to change. Starting in July, a Kansas law will allow concealed guns on state college campuses unless a legislative effort to undo the law is successful.

Faculty and student organizations generally have been strongly opposed to concealed guns on campus, as have administrators.
