A teenager has been arrested in a last week's shooting at Morgan State University that left five people wounded during homecoming celebrations
A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection with last week’s shooting at Morgan State University that left five people wounded during homecoming celebrations at the historically Black college in northeast Baltimore. Police in Baltimore announced the arrest Friday morning but did not identify the suspect because he’s a minor. Authorities said they’re actively searching for a second suspect, 18-year-old Jovan Williams, and have obtained an arrest warrant.
Students were making their way from an auditorium on campus to the student center for a coronation ball when gunfire sent them scattering in fear. Five people were wounded, including four students, and police believe the intended target was not among those injured. The campus was placed on lockdown for hours as officers initially thought there was an active shooter threat. University leaders canceled classes and homecoming activities for the remainder of the week.
