   Several people have been killed in a shooting at a university in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, local reports say.
   
   Local reports say one or two unidentified gunmen opened fire at Azerbaijan's State Oil Academy.
   
   There are conflicting reports about the number of dead. One says that 10 people have been killed.
   
   The state of Azerbaijan is rich in oil and energy resources, and this has fuelled its economic growth.
   
   Some reports quoting local police sources say that at least one of the gunmen involved has been "neutralised".
   
   Police have arrived at the scene of the shooting and all roads leading to the academy have been blocked, according to the Reuters news agency.
   
   Earlier reports said that hostages had been taken, but these are unconfirmed. Local police have declined to give further details about the incident.
