BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota State University student could face discipline after a gun accidentally fired in a campus dorm room.

University spokesman Mike Lockrem says the student was cleaning his gun after hunting and it discharged last week. No one was injured. Lockrem tells the Argus Leader that having a gun on campus is against the university’s policy. However students can store firearms with the campus police department.

Lockrem says the incident will be reviewed by university officials and a hearing will likely be held.
