BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Police Department has released new, clearer photos of persons of interest in the shooting that happened at Morgan State University.

This comes as the university's president plans to make security upgrades on the campus.

"I wish they would find the people because this is insane, why would you even do that?" Morgan State junior Eboni Singletary said. "It was homecoming. It's supposed to be a day, a week, of happiness, of fresh air and it wasn't."

Five people were shot one week ago on campus in the midst of the university's homecoming celebrations. Four of the victims were students.

In light of the shooting, the university's president Dr. David Wilson is taking steps to make the campus more secure.

"I'm going to unveil to the university community a plan now to move and make Morgan less of an open campus," Morgan State University President Dr. David Wilson said.

He spoke during the iMPACT Maryland conference Tuesday. He said the university will be limiting access to certain places on campus and will require people to show ID.

"It means that we're sending a clear message to bad actors that we don't want you here," Wilson said.

The governor is also weighing in on the shooting at Morgan and the one that happened at Bowie State over the weekend.

"At both of their homecomings, we have shootings that mar the events, and so we just have to deal with the fact that it is just far too easy for people to get their hands on firearms," Governor Wes Moore said.

Many students on campus told WJZ that they felt uneasy with the shooters still out there. Some of them welcome the new security changes.

"I think that it's a least a step in the right direction to keeping security on campus," Morgan State freshman Parker Jones said.

A $9,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in connection with the shooting.  

Anyone with information on suspects is urged to call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP. Tips can remain anonymous.
