Four students were among five people shot at Morgan State University in Baltimore Tuesday night during homecoming week, sending the school into lockdown for over two hours.
No arrests were made in the shooting on the campus of the historically black university in Baltimore, Maryland by early Wednesday — and police didn’t reveal if they believe more than one suspect opened fire.
Four males and one female between the ages of 18 and 22 were shot when the gunfire erupted at around 9:25 p.m., according to police.
Four of the five victims are students at the college, Morgan State University security officials said.
None of the injuries were life-threatening, police said.
Morgan State University police were patrolling the campus when they heard the gunfire and called Baltimore police for backup.
The campus cops located the victims and treated them at the scene before they were rushed to area hospitals.
Officers noticed multiple windows had been shattered by bullets and feared the shooter may have been ready to commit more violence.
Baltimore Police then put out an alert around 10 p.m. warning of an active shooter situation near the campus in the 1700 block of Argonne Drive and urged residents to shelter in place.
By 11:45 p.m., police said there was no longer a threat of an active shooter and just after 12:30 a.m. Morgan State University announced the shelter-in-place order was lifted and shuttle service had resumed.
A Baltimore council member said there may have been more than one shooter.
“It’s believed there were three shooters firing into the crowd,” City Council Member Ryan Dorsey said on X, formerly Twitter.
