shot, wounded on homecoming weekend at North Carolina A&T State University; brief lockdown

• GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Shots fired on homecoming weekend at North Carolina A&T State University prompted a brief campus lockdown after a 21-year-old man was wounded by a bullet fired from a "considerable distance," authorities said.
• Greensboro Police Department said in a statement released overnight that "one or more" suspects fired shots near McCain Hall on campus about 10 p.m. Saturday and one of the rounds struck 21-year-old Divine Eatman.
• Eatman appeared to have serious, but non-life-threatening wounds and was taken to a hospital by paramedics, according to the statement released by Police Lieut. J.L. Raines. The statement didn't elaborate on just how far Eatman was from where the shot was fired that hit him, or whether anyone had been deliberately targeted.
• Greensboro and campus police responded to the site and a lockdown was ordered. The university's website announced about an hour later that the lockdown had been lifted, but encouraged students "for increased safety" to stay indoors.
• The university tweeted on its website that campus police subsequently had gone on "visible" and "high alert." Police said they were seeking as many as four suspects, but a university tweet said no suspects had been identified late Saturday.
