The motive for the shooting was not clear and Northern Arizona officials have not said if the dead victim was a student.
In an earlier Twitter message, university officials urged residents of the Mountain View Hall dormitory to stay indoors.
The deadly Arizona shooting follows the high-profile October 1 shooting rampage at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, in which a 26 year-old gunman shot dead nine people, then committed suicide.
