Baltimore shooting: ‘multiple victims’ shot at Morgan State University, say police
Multiple people were shot at Morgan State University in Baltimore on Tuesday, police said.
Baltimore police said officers were on the scene for an “active shooter situation” on the campus of the historically Black university. The address given for the shooting appeared to match a residential building.
“We’re asking everyone to shelter in place and avoid the area,” police said on Twitter.
Police spokesperson Vernon Davis told the Baltimore Banner that at least four people were shot. Their conditions were not immediately known.
Police spokesperson Amanda Krotki also said “multiple victims” were shot.
At the scene on Tuesday night, officers were blocking off the south entrance to campus near dorm buildings while a police helicopter circled overhead.
City council member Odette Ramos said on Twitter that students and staff were ordered to shelter in place. The university reported an enrolment of more than 9,000 students as of late 2022.
