Five wounded after Morgan State University shooting

Police on Wednesday said they didn’t know how many shooters were involved in the incident, and by noon had not yet announced any arrests. The Tuesday night shooting at the Baltimore college took place during homecoming week and prompted an hourslong lockdown. Police sent a SWAT team into one building to search for a suspect. Authorities lifted a shelter-in-place order just after midnight.

What’s the condition of the wounded? Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Wednesday that the victims included four men and one woman. Four of the victims attended Morgan State, and all five victims were between the ages of 18 and 22. Worley said none of them suffered life-threatening injuries.
