Baltimore Police are encouraging people to avoid the area of Morgan State University and those nearby to shelter in place Tuesday night after multiple people were shot on campus.
The department said that multiple people were shot on the campus.
Police tweeted that officers are on the scene of the situation, which the school said was related to a report of shots being fired, on the 1700 block of Argonne Drive, near the Thurgood Marshall Apartments and close to the Northeast District Police Station. Special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are also on scene, the federal agency said.
The university said those near campus should clear the area near the residential building as well as the Murphy Fine Arts Center, and shelter in place. An alert sent to students Tuesday night said shots were reported to have been fired in that area.
Concerned family members are asked to avoid the campus area and instead go to the Safeway parking lot at 4401 Harford Road.
The historically Black institution had an enrollment of more than 9,000 students as of late 2022.
The university’s homecoming football game is on Saturday, through festive events were scheduled throughout the week. On Tuesday evening, the Murphy Fine Arts Center was slated to host the “Mister and Miss Morgan State Coronation” at 7 p.m., according to a school calendar.
