A reported shooting at South Carolina State University dormitory prompted a campus-wide lockdown on Saturday night, the school said.

On its website, the university announced that the campus went into lockdown following “shots fired at Hugine Suites,” which is a student dormitory located on the Orangeburg, S.C., campus.

No information about any injuries or a suspect was immediately provided.

The State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was called in to investigate, according to the university. Fox News Digital reached out to SLED for updates but received no immediate response.

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said in a post on X that his office was keeping an eye on the situation on campus.

“My office is closely monitoring the situation at South Carolina State University,” Scott wrote. “Praying for everyone’s safety on campus.”

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also responded to the reported shooting in a post on X.

“Praying for everyone at South Carolina State University tonight,” Mace wrote. “Please remain safe and adhere to law enforcement instructions as they manage reports of a shooting on campus. Our thoughts are with the students, faculty, and families involved.”
