Classes are canceled at Bowie State University Monday, and two teens are recovering after being shot after the homecoming game Saturday.

Maryland State Police were reportedly already on campus assisting with festivities when officers responded to Henry Circle near the Center for Business and Graduate Studies for a shooting reported at 11:45 p.m.

Officers later discovered two 19-year-old men had been reported injured in the shooting and taken to a hospital, according to FOX 5 DC.
