WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Shocking cellphone video shows the moment shots rang out during an altercation at Worcester State University early Saturday morning, leaving one person dead and another hospitalized, officials said.
Officers responding to a reported altercation near the parking garage around 2:30 a.m. found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds, according to state police. They were both taken to nearby UMass Memorial Medial Center, where one was pronounced dead. Their name has not been released.
“Neither the victims or the suspected assailants are students of Worcester State University,” the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
University officials are now asking for the public’s help for photos and videos around the locations of Wasylean parking lot and Sheehan Hall.
Worcester State’s homecoming and family day weekend are canceled.
Officials said that there is no immediate threat to campus.
