(WEAA)— The Morgan State University student who was injured in a shooting Saturday has been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
Baltimore police say the 18-year-old was shot in his chest around 6:40 p.m. on Argonne Drive.
The shooting happened shortly after the university’s homecoming football game ended “as the crowds were winding down and the campus was clearing”, according to Morgan State President Dr. David Wilson.
Dr. Wilson released a statement on the incident,
“Given the seriousness of the incident which occurred on our campus, let me reiterate that our University is built on core values and Morgan does not waver from its six core values of leadership, integrity, innovation, diversity, excellence and respect. All of these values are important tenets of our institution—but none more important than RESPECT. We must always respect ourselves, respect others, and respect this venerable institution. There is no place on this campus for violence. I can assure you that if you are not in alignment with these core values, we will not hesitate to send you home. Morgan is about growing the future and leading the world. The last act that occurred during Homecoming Week is simply not in alignment with who we are.”
