Two dead in Melbourne shooting

Two people have been shot dead and eight others injured at the Clayton campus of Monash University in Melbourne.

A man has been arrested and taken to the Glen Waverley police station.

The shooting happened on the sixth floor of the Robert Menzies building, which is home to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.

Hundreds of students were in the building at the time.

They say the first thing they heard was a woman screaming.

"We heard her screaming, then five minutes later we heard the police helicopter come over," one bystander said.

Police say the Homicide Squad is now investigating.

"We're at the very early stages of what will be a quite a protracted and large investigation," a police spokesman said.

Two of the injured have been rushed into the Alfred Hospital's trauma unit.

Their condition is not yet known.

Hospital staff are preparing for the possibility of more casualties arriving soon.
