The University of Central Florida's main campus may have been targeted for an attack by a student found dead in his dorm room early Monday morning.

That student was James Seevakumaran, 30, a business student at UCF.

The Tower 1 residence hall, in Knights Plaza, was evacuated around 1 a.m., and remains evacuated while police investigate the death of a male student who appeared to have shot himself, along with a bag of improvised explosive devices found nearby.

Classes were cancelled until noon. The university said essential personnel should report to work, but other employees were asked to stay off campus until noon.

UCF police said they received a fire alarm call around 12:20 a.m. As they responded to that call, police then received a 911 call reporting a man with a gun.

When police arrived, they found a student with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They also found a bag of improvised explosive devices, along with a handgun and a rifle.

Tower 1 was evacuated, and Parking Garage G was also closed. The parking garage has since reopened.

West Plaza and Victory Way are also blocked during the investigation.

"It was 12 o'clock and I was doing homework," said Jason Smith, a student who was evacuated. "The alarm went off and I figured it was too late to be a drill, so we just got up and left."

UCF sent a text message alert to students about the suspicious death, informing students the campus was closed until noon, but that there was no threat to the campus community.

"University police responded immediately when we received a fire alarm call and a subsequent 911 call," said UCF police Chief Richard Beary. "The safety of our students in Tower 1 and our entire campus community is our top priority."

One student, however, said he would have liked to know sooner.

"I would think that they would let us know faster, because it was at least two hours -- because it was at least 2 o'clock in the morning -- and this happened at midnight, and we didn't know anything for at least two hours," said student Nick Eckman. "It's sad that it was a student, but at least there weren't high casualties."

The evacuated students were initially encouraged to go to the Student Union or the Recreation and Wellness Center annex for counseling services. Counselors have been moved to the Veteran's Academic Resource Center as of 7 a.m. Food, water and counseling services were made available to evacuated students.

UCF said the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the FBI are assisting UCF police. The Sheriff's Office bomb squad has also responded to examine the explosives.

"It's scary," said student Ryan Elkin. "Obviously, it's in the news and stuff, with all the school shootings, but there's not much you can do about it. Obviously they took precautions and emptied out the whole building."

UCF said classes and operations in the Central Florida Research Park and all other campus locations were not impacted, and will continue as scheduled Monday.
