Manhunt underway for armed suspects after shooting at California university dorm

Authorities are searching for six suspects following a late-night shooting inside a California State University, Sacramento residence hall that unsettled the campus community.

Police received reports of gunfire at approximately 11 p.m. Sunday in the first-floor lobby and computer room of Klamath Hall.

University police reached the building within a minute. No injuries were reported in connection with the shooting.

“The safety and security of our campus community remains our highest priority. We are grateful that no one was injured, and we appreciate the cooperation and support of our campus community as the investigation continues,” the university said in a statement.

The Sacramento State Police Department described the suspects as appearing to be between 18 and 20 years old, FOX 40 reported.

Investigators said three of the individuals were approximately 6 feet tall, two were about 5 feet 10 inches, and another stood between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 8 inches.

The group was last seen running toward J Street. Police do not believe the suspects are Sacramento State students, and three of them were reportedly carrying handguns.

“I’m definitely questioning the safety a little bit because if they were not people who lived in Klamath, I want to know how they got inside,” Dan Quae, a freshman at the university, told KCRA 3.

Authorities have not released additional details, and the investigation remains underway.

Klamath Hall is located in Sacramento State’s North Village area and primarily houses freshman students. Nearby Sutter Hall and Sierra Hall also accommodate large numbers of first-year students.

The shooting happened roughly one month after four people were wounded by gunfire during a football game at the university.

During Sacramento State’s season-opening football game, shots were reported near a parking structure, where three women were found with gunshot wounds. Officers later responded to a crash near campus and discovered a man who had also been shot.

Sacramento State did not immediately respond to The California Post’s request for comment.
