At least four people have been injured during a shooting at Morgan State University. According to Baltimore police, all four were hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Although information is still being collected, an active shooter incident just after midnight on Tuesday forced the university to issue a shelter in place order for the campus and community. Early Wednesday morning, it was announced that restrictions had been lifted and that shuttle service to campus would resume.
