Virginia police seek others who fired shots in Virginia State University shooting that wounded 5

Police are seeking additional people who fired weapons during a shooting at Virginia State University that wounded five, as investigators work to determine whether the other shooters were aggressors or acting in self-defense.

The new development came as a 19-year-old suspect, who was not a student, remained jailed without bond and Virginia State University President Makola Abdullah addressed the campus community Sunday evening, saying the investigation was still underway and the university was cooperating with local, state and federal law enforcement .

The university said police would maintain an increased presence on campus as the investigation continued.
