>>ORIGINAL COVERAGE: Baltimore police say at least 4 shot on Morgan State University campus
Officers responded to the 1700 block of Argonne Drive in Baltimore sometime after 9 p.m. on initial reports of a shooting, according to our CBS affiliate WJZ in Baltimore.
Everyone was asked to shelter in place in the area but was lifted around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, university officials announced on social media.
About 75 minutes after officers responded to the report of gunfire at the university, Baltimore Police said on social media that the incident was no longer considered an active shooting.
Five people were been injured by gunfire, including four students, according to Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.
The victims were between the ages of 18 and 22 years old. Four men and a woman were injured by the gunfire, all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Worley said.
Worley also noted that during the shooting, gunfire damaged multiple windows on the premises of the campus. This led officers to believe that there was an active shooter, and so they responded accordingly, cordoning off the area, he said.
The university said they will provide updates as more details become available.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Baltimore along with the FBI is assisting Baltimore Police with the investigation.
We will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
