“The University will continue to gather information about what happened and we will act accordingly as a result of the outcome of the investigation,” Hartwell said in the statement.

Multiple police units arrived at the bar about 2:20 a.m. and found a large crowd in the bar parking lot, according to information from the Troy Police Department.

Police officers found no injuries as a result of gunshots, but did take two incident/offense reports from victims who were injured during a fight that happened before officers arrived.

Troy Police officers stayed on scene until the crowd had broken up. This case is still under investigation by the Troy Police Department.
