Multiple people were shot during what was supposed to be a celebration near the campus of Howard University in D.C., on Friday evening.

D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith says five people were shot during the school's homecoming event, but are expected to be okay.

Officers responded to sounds of gunfire at the 600 block of Howard Place, NW, at 8:23 p.m. while patrolling the area.

Four adult males and one teenage male were located and taken to nearby hospitals, according to Smith. Police say their injuries were non-life-threatening.

Just before 11 p.m., police announced that two suspects were placed in police custody and three weapons were recovered at the scene.

Chief Smith says Howard students were not among the victims. However, one of the victims is a student at Morgan State University
