Search underway for suspected gunman outside Notre Dame football game vs Michigan State
Police said 2 people were shot and no continued threat remained after the campuswide shelter order was lifted.
On Saturday, Sept. 19, a suspected gunman opened fire near Notre Dame's campus at Eddy Street Commons during the football game against Michigan State, prompting a shelter-in-place order.
A fight broke out near Eddy Street and Angela Boulevard, leading to gunfire that injured two people, including a police officer struck by shrapnel or a ricochet during the altercation.
Police are actively searching for the suspect, described as a heavy-set Black male wearing blue shorts, a black shirt, and one white shoe, who investigators believe fled in a westerly direction.
Both victims were taken to a hospital and are expected to be OK, though the intersection of Eddy Street and Angela Boulevard remains an active crime scene the public should avoid.
Notre Dame officials confirmed there is no continued threat to campus, though law enforcement continues collecting evidence from the scene and it remains unclear when the area will fully reopen.
