A shooting at Virginia State University on Saturday night prompted a lockdown on campus, in what police called an "isolated incident" that came at the end of homecoming weekend.

Virginia State University Police said about 8:25 p.m., police were called to the 1 block of Hayden Street in Petersburg for a reported shooting. Officers found a man who was wounded by gunfire, authorities said. The man was hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

"At this time, police believe this is an isolated incident and there is no further threat to the campus," campus police said in a Facebook post early Sunday.
