5 Shot at Morgan State University Campus During Homecoming Event

Five people were injured in a shooting Tuesday night on the campus HBCU, Morgan State University in Baltimore.

The incident occurred during the annual homecoming events. Today, all classes have been canceled, and a shelter-in-place order was issued. Four of those wounded were students of the university.

No arrests have been made.

Campus police report that the patrol heard gunfire around 9:25 p.m. When they went to investigate, they discovered several shooting victims. All of the victims were aged between 18 and 22. They were rushed to hospital to be treated for their non-life-threatening injuries.

“We didn’t open the campus up until our SWAT team had cleared the building where the suspect may have ran, or where we thought the shot came from,” Worley said, adding that the police department believed the shooting had taken place outdoors.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting with the response to the shooting.

“The repetition of these horrific events is about one thing: easy access to guns,” Bill Ferguson, a Democratic state legislator who represents Baltimore, wrote on X. “I cannot even fathom the feelings of parents who are fearing the safety of their children at Morgan tonight.”

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said his office is monitoring the situation and is in touch with officials on campus.

“For those who decided to come onto this jewel of a campus, and inflict this pain and trauma on their community — we’re going to find you. We won’t stop,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott at an early morning news conference.
