Officials say the gunfire erupted during a school-sponsored cookout for the university's fraternities and sororities.

"Someone got trampled and I heard gunshots. It was just a horrific event," junior Davontay Phillips said.

All three people shot were taken to Kent General Hospital in Dover with injuries considered non-life-threatening.

Students were told to stay inside their dormitories and non-students were asked to leave campus.

It is not yet clear at this time if the victims are students.

A second shooting in a campus parking lot happened hours later, said the university's police department. No one was injured.

It's unclear if the two incidents were related.

No arrests had been made in either incident.

Delaware State University Police and Delaware State Police are handling the investigation.
