Three people were reportedly shot and multiple people were injured at a homecoming concert in North Carolina, Saturday.

The shooting took place around 11 p.m. after a fight broke out at the Livingstone College homecoming concert on the West Monroe Street campus in Salisbury, WBTV reported. Law enforcement initially found two people shot and a number of others injured by their fellow attendees running from the scene, the outlet noted.

Authorities had identified a third victim with a gunshot wound by Monday morning, the outlet continued. One female victim was reportedly treated for a graze wound at Novant Health Rowan Regional Medical Center and subsequently released. One of the other victims with a gunshot wound was flown to Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, and is currently in a stable condition, according to WBTV. The third alleged victim was also brought to the hospital for treatment.

The victims shot at the concert are members of the local community, not students at Livingstone College, WBTV noted. Two students were allegedly wounded while fleeing the scene.

“I don’t care what you’re mad about, you could kill somebody like somebody could be dead…because of what, a fight? Ignorant and dumb,” concert attendee Alanna Pendergast told WBTV. (RELATED: Authorities Charge Ex-Police Officer Who Allegedly Shot 12-Year-Old With Murder)

The Salisbury Police Department is investigating the shooting, and no suspects have been arrested thus far, WBTV noted. The attack came days after five people, including an off-duty police officer, were killed in a shooting in Raleigh.
