Two University of Wisconsin-Platteville students died in what officials said Monday was a "targeted and isolated" shooting on campus.

The two 22-year-old students, Kelsie Martin and Hallie Helms, were the only people involved in the incident at an on-campus residence hall, the university said.

Martin, a psychology major and assistant resident director at Wilgus Hall, was airlifted to a University of Wisconsin hospital after she was found with a gunshot wound, according to the statement.

She was later pronounced dead, the school said.

A preliminary autopsy found that Helms, who lived at Wilgus Hall and was an elementary education major, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the school said in a statement Tuesday night.
