A reported shooting at South Carolina State University dormitory prompted a campus-wide lockdown on Saturday night, the school said.

The university wrote in a notice on its website that the campus entered a lockdown after “shots fired at Hugine Suites,” a student residence hall on the Orangeburg, S.C., campus.

No information about any injuries or a suspect was immediately provided.

The State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was asked to investigate, the university said. Fox News Digital reached out to SLED for any updates but did not immediately hear back.

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said in a post on X that his office was keeping an eye on the situation on campus.

“My office is closely monitoring the situation at South Carolina State University,” Scott wrote. “Praying for everyone’s safety on campus.”

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also responded to the reported shooting in a post on X.

“Praying for everyone at South Carolina State University tonight,” Mace wrote. “Please stay safe and follow law enforcement instructions as they respond to reports of a shooting on campus. Our hearts are with the students, faculty, and families affected.”
