Overview
- The gunfire was reported late Sunday night inside the first-floor lobby and computer area of Klamath Hall, and campus police confirmed casings and a bullet lodged in a dorm wall but said no one was injured.
- Authorities are seeking six males described as about 18 to 20 years old who fled on foot toward J Street, and campus police say three of the suspects were seen with handguns and are not believed to be Sacramento State students.
- Sacramento State released suspect photos and descriptions and has kept heightened security measures in place, including increased patrols, modified residence-hall access and suspended guest privileges.
- Students said they were feet from the gunfire and reported delayed campus emails about the incident, prompting questions about how non-students entered the building and calls for a review of access controls.
- The shooting renews wider safety concerns after a September campus parking-structure shooting, and university leaders say they will review security protocols and offer counseling to affected students and staff.
