ALBANY — Officials from Albany State University announced Thursday evening that the ASU Police Department arrested three suspects in connection with an on-campus shooting on Saturday.

ASU Police Chief John Fields said suspects Timothy Dennard, 21, of Pelham; George Dennard, 19, of Pelham, and Dorell Edwins Jr., 20, of Baconton, were arrested and charged with aggravated assault and party to a crime for the incident.

The arrests were made after locating the suspected vehicle driven by the shooters and through collaboration with other law enforcement agencies. The suspects are currently in the Dougherty County Jail, ASU officials said.

Officials initially reported that the ASU East Campus was locked down for slightly more than two hours Saturday night after reports of an on-campus shooting near two of the university’s dorms at 10:15 p.m.

There were no life-threatening injuries, though two people, one an ASU student, were wounded. One person was reportedly shot in the foot and the other grazed by a bullet. The two individuals were treated at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital and released.

Campus police officials are seeking two additional suspects for questioning: Ronderrious Huntley and Daquezny Huntley, both of Baconton.

The university asked the Albany Police Department for help with the investigation.
