Shots fired on IUP campus

INDIANA — A man fired two gunshots into the air outside a dormitory on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus, but nobody was hurt and no property was damaged, police said.

A student called campus police at 12:35 a.m. Monday to report that two men pulled in front of the dormitory and asked the student and a friend if they needed drugs, university spokeswoman Michelle Fryling said. When the students declined, the men drove off and the driver fired a handgun, she said.

University police found the suspects' vehicle a short time later with help from borough and state police.

The two men will be mailed summons, officials said. Neither is a student and both live in the borough of Indiana, officials said.
