University Police responded to a call on March 14, after gunshots were fired.

The shots were fired at approximately 1:40 a.m. after a fight broke out in the parking lot adjacent to the residence halls. There were no injuries as a result of the gunshots.

Four people – including three Sacramento State students – received minor injuries as a result of the fight, according to Public Affairs officials. One student was taken to Kaiser Hospital by ambulance.

The fight broke out after a group of people, including Sac State students, gathered outside the residence halls and began dancing. Shortly thereafter, a fight broke out and gunshots were heard as cars sped off.

Campus police said the altercation lasted less than five minutes.

According to officials, an Emergency Notification System alert was not sent to students, as alerts are only used in emergency situations that threaten the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors, such as a bomb threat.

University Police is asking anyone who may have information regarding this incident to call (916) 278-6851 or e-mail [email protected] and refer to report number 09-0145. Reporting parties can remain anonymous.
