Baltimore police are asking for the public’s help identifying a group of people seen in the area of a shooting at Morgan State University that left five people injured during homecoming events. Police released surveillance video late Wednesday that shows several people walking in a grassy area. They are seeking the identities of “persons of interest” in Tuesday night’s shooting. Police Commissioner Richard Worley has said at least two people opened fire during a dispute between two groups. But Worley says preliminary evidence indicates the shooters were targeting one person, who wasn’t among the five victims. All five are expected to survive. The shooting unfolded as people walked from the Mister and Miss Morgan State coronation ceremony to a ball.

Wednesday morning’s updates from police helped quell rumors circulating online about whether the attack was racially motivated or a planned school shooting on the historically Black university campus in northeast Baltimore. “Today, we unfortunately find ourselves navigating this tragic event during a time at which we should be celebrating,” Wilson said in a letter to the university community.
On campus Wednesday afternoon, workers were replacing the windows and sweeping up broken glass while students milled about — some commenting on the evolving crime scene, which included blood splatters on a concrete walkway and yellow crime tape crisscrossing the adjacent courtyard. A neon sign at one campus entrance flashed: “Morgan family, Morgan strong.”
