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.

Fox News appears to have been pranked by a fan of the network’s former star Tucker Carlson during a live broadcast.
The awkward moment occurred during coverage of the Morgan State University shooting, which took place in Maryland on Tuesday night.
Anchor Trace Gallagher took a call from someone the news channel believed was a witness and student at the university.
“When you say poker game, what exactly happened? What transpired?” Gallagher asked.
The witness, who appeared via a phone link, seemed to begin his bogus statement earnestly.
