Police found students trying to escape the area after gunshots were reported early Sunday morning near the College of Idaho in Caldwell.
In response to multiple calls to a home near campus, police arrived to find students “running from the location in fear” at about 2:45 a.m., according to news release from the Caldwell Police Department.
Officers forced their way into the home to look for victims, but found no one had been shot or injured.
Preliminary evidence indicated there was a verbal altercation outside after multiple male individuals were denied entry into the home, according to the release. Police believe the individuals then parked their car nearby and fired multiple gunshots in the direction of the house. Though no person was hit, several parked vehicles were damaged.
The house on East Oak Street was previously associated with a sorority that has since lost its official affiliation with the College of Idaho, according to police.
Campus security helped the students find a safe place to spend the night and were assisting with the ongoing investigation.
While the police said they believe this was an isolated incident and there is no further danger to the community, they are still searching for those involved.
“Luckily no one was injured in this cowardly attack,” Rex Ingram, Caldwell Chief of Police, said in the release. “I can assure the public that we will find the suspects and bring them to justice.”
