CNN —Baltimore police responded to an active shooter situation involving multiple victims at Morgan State University Tuesday night, the department confirmed to CNN. Police officials have confirmed the incident is no longer considered an active shooter situation but are still asking everyone to shelter in place. There was a “preliminary report of four individuals shot” somewhere on the university grounds, Baltimore City Fire Department Director of Communications Kevin Cartwright told CNN. Both police and the university – a small HBCU in northeast Baltimore – have urged those on campus to shelter in place and avoid the area. It also falls just days before a scheduled candlelight memorial service intended to honor university members who have died over the past year.
