Teen charged in mass shooting near University of Delaware: What we know

The search for answers tonight, less than... Forty eight hours after a mass shooting near the University of Delaware, six people shot ranging in age from 15 to 21 years old and one of the victims, a 20 year old UD student is in serious condition. This is the news at five. I'm Sheba Russell. One of the people shot a 16 year old has been arrested. Police say he had a loaded gun on him. The university canceling classes today. They will also be closed tomorrow, but that was already planned due to election. And Kelly, you are back on East Main Street today. You've been talking with students and people who work in the area. Sheba, I have, and understandably, a lot of them are still shaken up and want to know how and why this happened. Police have not provided another update today, but at last check they said all of the victims except one continue to recover in the hospital, including that UD student that was injured. We'll be right back. There were people on, like, every inch of the street, on the sidewalks, everything. It was just super chaotic. University of Delaware students reliving the terrifying moments on Saturday night when gunshots erupted on East Main Street near campus, injuring six people, including a 20-year-old UD student. Surveillance video provided at Fox 29 captured crowds of people running moments after. The university kept campus open today, but canceled classes to give students and staff time to process. Lily Grossberg was working at Klondike Capes at the time, across from where the shooting happened. I just saw the police and everything, and then I saw a body laying down and all of the cops surrounding it, and I was just like, what is going on? I was so scared. I think everyone's a little shooken up. I mean, it's just like we're a college town. We don't really expect these types of things to happen. Newark police say it happened just before 11.15 Halloween night after a large gathering. The victims range from 15 to 21 years old. Police say a 16-year-old victim, found with a loaded firearm, is facing weapons charges, but it's unclear if he fired his gun during the shooting. It definitely was a scary thing. I called my parents. Friends, you know. Students described crowds like they'd never seen before Saturday night until Fox 29 there were posts on social media ahead of the weekend about young people taking over East Main Street on Halloween night. After the shooting, some of the conversation turned to racist and hateful chatter on social media, according to the university's Black Student Union. The university's president responded saying there's no place for this ever at UD. I kind of questioned what's going to happen next year and maybe... There's going to be more precautions, hopefully, because it's just, it's not, it's not good. And it was just people everywhere. Gianmarco Morticelli, owner of Klondike Cades, said they stopped letting people in around 10 p.m. because of the crowds before the shooting. He's hoping for some changes. I personally feel things like this are becoming like a trend on social media, and the only way to kind of curb that kind of stuff will be some type of curfew for these kind of big holidays. That business owner was suggesting a curfew possibly for 18 and under after 8 p.m. again on big holidays. Now, police say as they continue their investigation, they are asking for the public's help. If you have pictures or video that capture the moments before, during, or even after the shooting, they ask that you turn them in. Sheba. I mean, there is some truth to what he said, Kelly. If you look at Halloween night across the country, there have been a number of shootings and incidents, and now we have the one here in our own backyard. All right, Kelly Kelly Rule, thank you.
