Morgan State University to Build Wall Around Campus After Homecoming Shooting, Increase Security Measures

A shooting during Morgan State University's homecoming week injured five people, prompting the university to announce plans to build a wall encircling 90% of the campus.
The shooting occurred on October 3rd during a walk from an auditorium to the student center, injuring four students and one other person.
The wall aims to eliminate unfettered access to campus and keep out "bad actors" while not excluding the surrounding community.
Other new security measures will include more police patrols, metal detectors, exploring weapons detection technology, and additional guard booths at an estimated cost over $22 million.
This follows previous incidents of violence during past Morgan State homecoming events.
