A female shooting suspect was in custody and a second person was detained, "not arrested," spokesman Ray Garner told reporters.
Of the six casualties, five were faculty members, and the sixth was a staff member; no students were among the victims, Willis said.
"We do have some witnesses," he said.
The sweep of the building was complete by 6 p.m., he said.
A spokeswoman for Huntsville Hospital said it had received three patients in critical condition from the shooting.
