Police are searching for six suspects following a late-night shooting inside a California university residence hall that unsettled the campus community.
Gunfire was reported at about 11 p.m. Sunday in the first-floor lobby and computer room of Klamath Hall at California State University, Sacramento.
University police reached the building within a minute. No injuries were reported.
“The safety and security of our campus community remains our highest priority. We are grateful that no one was injured, and we appreciate the cooperation and support of our campus community as the investigation continues,” the university said in a statement.
The Sacramento State Police Department said the suspects appeared to be between 18 and 20 years old, FOX 40 reported.
Investigators said three of the suspects appeared to be about 6 feet tall, two were approximately 5 feet 10 inches, and another was estimated to be between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches.
The six suspects were last seen running toward J Street and are not believed to be Sacramento State students. Three were reportedly carrying handguns.
“I’m definitely questioning the safety a little bit because if they were not people who lived in Klamath, I want to know how they got inside,” Dan Quae, a freshman at the university, told KCRA 3.
Authorities have not released additional details, and the investigation remains active.
Klamath Hall is located in the school’s North Village area and primarily houses freshmen. Nearby Sutter Hall and Sierra Hall are also largely occupied by first-year students.
The shooting occurred roughly one month after four people were wounded by gunfire at a Sacramento State football game.
During the university’s season-opening football game, shots were heard near a parking structure, where three women were found injured. Shortly afterward, officers responding to a crash near campus discovered a man who had also been shot.
Sacramento State did not immediately respond to The California Post’s request for comment.
