Investigators believe there was a dispute between two groups when gunfire erupted near a dorm on the university's campus, Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Wednesday. At least three people are believed to have been armed. 

Four men and one woman between the ages of 18 and 22 were shot, and all were hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds. Worley said one of those victims has been released from the hospital as of Wednesday morning. The conditions of the remaining victims was not immediately clear. 

Worley said those shot were bystanders and not intended targets. Four of them are students at the historically Black university based in Northeast Baltimore. 

Investigators believe the shooting happened outside, but multiple windows appear to have been shattered in the incident. There is no word yet on a motive in the shooting. 

The shooting marks the third year in a row of a shooting during the university's homecoming week. 

Morgan State University has canceled all homecoming activities, events and classes for the week following the shooting.
