Three students were injured in an overnight shooting at Tennessee State University Wednesday.

The Tennessean reports that 20-year-old Calvin Scott is in critical condition after he was shot in the head outside a party near the TSU campus. The shooters are believed to be a trio of men who were turned away from the house party on Albion Street.

Two other students, 19-year-old TSU student Chase Stevenson and 20-year-old Aaron Bachelor of Nashville State Community College, were also injured in the shooting. They are currently being treated for gunshot wounds.

Scott is reportedly a student at Middle Tennessee State University.

Senior TSU student Eric Freeman told the Tennessean of his experience.

"I was walking up the street to the party to see my cousin when I heard gunshots 'boom, boom, boom' and hit the ground," Freeman said. "People were running in all directions. Cars started whizzing by."

51-year-old local resident Marvin Smartt slept through the shooting.

"But it woke my sister," he said. "She heard a slew of gunshots, looked out the window and saw people hiding in yards and cars scattering. It's kind of strange to have a party on a Tuesday. I'm just glad no one was hit by bullets in any of these homes."

The suspects are still at large.

Universities have been on alert following a recent mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. Ten people were killed in that attack.

S. Daniel Carter of the campus violence support group VTV Family Outreach Foundation has stressed the difference between mass shootings and isolated instances of violence.

"There's a distinction, of course, between someone who just sets out to kill a large number of people and shootings that come out of altercations, which unfortunately do happen pretty regularly," Carter told The New York Times. "They typically don't get national coverage, except in the wake of something like what happened in Oregon."
