Multiple people were hospitalized overnight Monday after a shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama.
The incident unfolded during an “unauthorized party” at the West Commons housing complex,” university officials revealed.
At least two campus visitors and two students were injured. The extent of their injuries remains unclear.
One of the party attendees recalled hearing gunshots and rushing to the exit with others.
“There was no sense of trouble until we actually heard the first gunshot,” she said.
“But the first gunshot was kind of like a warning. Nobody really knew what was going on.”
As the gunfire rang “over, over and over again,” many sustained injuries as they attempted to escape.
“I just expected it to be a safe place because we are on campus, and there should be security measures in place,” the student added.
