Police arrested two suspects and were searching for a third after a shooting near the San Diego State University campus Thursday evening, authorities said. One person was injured during the incident.
Police responded to a call about a man shot at 5100 College Ave. near a light rail stop at 4:38 p.m., according to the San Diego Police Department. One victim was transported to a hospital in unknown condition, according to a university news release.
Neither the suspects nor the victim are affiliated with the school community, according to the university.
At 5:30 p.m., the university said a suspect was taken into custody. The school has asked everyone on campus to stay indoors and be on alert.
About 15 minutes later, the university released a statement saying a second suspect, believed to be the shooter, had been arrested and a weapon had been recovered. All university classes and activities were canceled for the remainder of the night, according to the university.
Police asked everyone to stay inside until 7:35 p.m. as they searched the campus for a third suspect believed to be connected to the shooting.
Following the search, police said “all was clear,” concluding that the third suspect was not on or near campus and did not pose a threat to the school community, the university said.
