President Dr. David Wilson sent out a letter saying safety concerns were the reason the activities were canceled. "Today, we unfortunately find ourselves navigating this tragic event during a time at which we should be celebrating our National Treasure during Homecoming," Dr. Wilson said. "Please understand that the safety of our campus is of the utmost importance and our resolve in ensuring that we have a secure campus is paramount." This is the first time in school history that all homecoming events have been canceled. On Tuesday night, five people, including four students were injured by gunfire following a shooting on campus. The shooting happened shortly after the crowning of Mr. and Ms. Morgan State University, a kickoff to homecoming week events at the school. 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. No arrests have been made. Dr. Wilson said more security measures are being implemented on campus.
