At least five people have been shot near Morgan State University in Baltimore in what was earlier described as an “active shooter situation” on the campus. Police later said they no longer considered the incident an “active shooter” situation but urged people to shelter in place.
Lindsey Eldridge, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore Police Department, told the Washington Post that there were “multiple victims”. They have sustained non-threatening injuries.
Baltimore Police Department posted on X/Twitter on Tuesday night at 10pm that “there is an active shooter situation at Morgan State University. Students and staff are ordered to shelter in place and the public should avoid the area. We will send updates.”
Later, Morgan State University lifted the shelter-in-place order.
The police said that the shooting occurred within the 1700 block of Argonne Drive, which is the address of a residential complex at the northwestern edge of the campus.
