DOVER, Del. — Three men were shot and injured Saturday night at a cookout on the Delaware State University campus, officials said.
The shooting occurred about 8 p.m. at a university-sanctioned fraternity and sorority event, university spokesman Carlos Holmes said.
The victims were taken to Kent General Hospital in Dover with injuries that were not life-threatening, Holmes said.
‘‘We can definitely tell you that the three victims were not DSU students,’’ Holmes said. ‘‘The event had a lot of guests . . . a lot of people that came from the surrounding communities and other schools.’’
University president Harry L. Williams said students were told to stay inside their dormitories, while nonstudents were asked to leave campus.
‘‘The safety of our students continues to be paramount and our police will aggressively continue their investigation until an arrest or arrests are made,’’ Williams said.
