A Purdue University student photographer was detained for questioning and his camera confiscated Tuesday shortly after a fatal shooting on campus.

A photographer for the Exponent, Purdue’s daily student newspaper, was standing in the overwalk between the Electrical Engineering Building and the Materials and Electrical Engineering Building when a Purdue police officer approached him, said Pat Kuhnle, Exponent publisher and general manager.
