WTOC reports a witness in the union at the time said an argument started between two students, one of whom later pulled out a gun.
"As soon as the first gun shot went off, everyone scattered away from where the fight was," witness Krystle Sutopka said.
A statement released by the university early Friday morning reported a male student named Christopher Starks, who was the only person injured in the shooting, later died at a local hospital from gunshot wounds.
The campus police department is currently working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, but as of Friday morning, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
