Police in Baltimore said on Wednesday that they are still searching for a suspect involved in a shooting at Morgan State University that left five innocent bystanders injured on Tuesday evening.
Students and faculty on campus were celebrating homecoming and the crowning of Mr and Miss Morgan State University when gunshots rang out around 9.30pm. The campus was plunged into lockdown with authorities believing that an “active shooter situation” was taking place.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said that the shooting was likely a result of a dispute between two groups of people.
Five bystanders were injured as a result of the gunfire, four of which are students at the university. Officials confirmed on Wednesday morning that none of them suffered life-threatening injuries.
Baltimore City Council Member Ryan Dorsey said in a post on X that he had been told there may have been three separate shooters firing into the crowd. No suspects have been named.
At the press briefing, police refused to confirm how many shooters they believed there to be.
