“Campus safety is our first priority,” stated university president Rick Gallot. “We have taken immediate, additional steps to protect our students.”
According to reports, two individuals got into a fight near the university. The altercation escalated and made its way onto the campus, where several shots were fired.
“These were non-students who had some sort of altercation off campus that somehow ended up on campus,” added Gallot.
