Bridgeport Emergency Operation Center officials say shots were fired inside the Marina Cafeteria, injuring one person.
The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say they are actively searching for a suspect involved in the "isolated" incident and say this is not an "active shooter situation."
They say that the incident was between the suspect and victim, both of which are not students at the university, and hope to have the suspect in custody before the end of the night and lift the lockdown.
Officials say there is no immediate threat to the campus, but are urging the public to avoid the area to allow police to investigate.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
