One person was injured in a shooting at the University of Bridgeport Tuesday evening and police continue to search for the shooter.

Bridgeport police said shots were fired at the university and one person was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They are alert and speaking with detectives, police said.

Officers were called to the marina dining room around 6:30 p.m. following shots fired. A police officer assigned to the university intervened a few minutes later and observed a “chaotic scene,” according to police.

Neither the shooter nor the victim were students, police said. They were visiting campus and using the restaurant when the shooting broke out. Investigators believe a fight led to the shooting.

“Neither the victim nor the shooter were UB students and this is an isolated incident,” University of Bridgeport President Danielle Wilken said at a news conference.

Authorities are still searching for the shooter and believe the suspect knew the person who was shot.

Police Chief Roderick Porter said authorities believe the shooter is no longer on campus and hope to have him in custody soon.

Officials said there was no immediate threat to the university. The public is asked to avoid the area while authorities conduct an investigation.

Police said the scene was secure and students and staff were safe. An active police presence will also be ensured at the university in the morning.

“At this time, the Bridgeport Police Department is actively investigating this matter but would like to assure South End residents and parents of students attending the University of Bridgeport that there is currently no active threat.” , city officials said in a statement.

Officials said the women’s soccer team and crowds at a game evacuated Knights Field after the shooting and took shelter in Hubbell Gym. The match has since been postponed.

The national non-profit association One in Five Foundation for Children is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooter.

The incident remains under investigation.
