New evidence showed there were two shooters involved in an attack at Morgan State University which left five injured Tuesday, Baltimore's Police Commissioner said Friday.

Richard Worley made the announcement Friday afternoon, releasing video of persons the department wants to speak with in relation to the attack.

"We have received more than a dozen tips that have assisted our detectives in this investigation," Worley told reporters, saying new ballistic evidence showed two shooters we involved.

BPD has worked in association with the college to speak with students and staff, as well as to review hours of security footage, as part of the investigation. Officers also searched dorms room-by-room as part of their inquiries.

Four of the five victims, aged between 18 and 22, had been released from hospital as of this morning, Worley said as he announced a $6,000 reward for information which leads officers to people they want to talk to as part of the investigation.

As yet, no suspects have been positively identified, Worley said.

"We have made significant enhancements to our security, since this incident," Lance Hatcher, Chief of Morgan State Police said, referencing extra uniformed officers within student housing areas ahead of students returning to classes Monday.

College officials said they are also looking at increasing security measures around the campus, to ensure only those who are supposed to be on the site are there and any threats are more easily identified.

The college cancelled classes and homecoming events, in response to the attack which happened during a homecoming event. However officials do not believe the shooting was directly linked to that event.

Baltimore City Council President Nick J. Mosby said it would be a collective effort to bring whoever was responsible to justice.

"I'm here to beg the students at Morgan, I'm here to beg the citizens of Baltimore to please step forward," Mosby said. "It is you, the residents, the citizens, the students, if you just saw one little thing, please step forward.

"We can solve this crime, we will solve this crime, we will bring these folks to justice."
