BALTIMORE, USA: Multiple people were shot near a university campus in the US city of Baltimore late Tuesday, officials said.
The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, that they were addressing an “active shooter situation” near the Morgan State University campus.
“BPD has confirmed the presence of multiple victims,” the department stated. “We urge everyone to stay in a secure location and avoid the vicinity.”

The university also advised students and their families to stay away from the affected area and take shelter.
Morgan State University, a historically Black institution, has an enrollment of approximately 9,000 students.
The prevalence of mass shootings in the United States is unfortunately a growing concern, attributed to the widespread availability of firearms in most states and a higher number of guns than citizens in the country.
