Los Angeles police officers investigate a shooting that occurred Wed. night at a halloween party on the University of Southern California Campus in Los Angeles on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012. Los Angeles police say two men apprehended after a Halloween shooting on the USC campus are still being interviewed and three of the four people wounded have been released from the hospital.LOS ANGELES – Violence that sometimes borders the University of Southern California crept onto campus when an argument outside a Halloween party escalated to a shooting that critically wounded one man and injured three other people and led administrators Thursday to reassess policies of the school near high-crime neighborhoods.
Neither the victims nor two men detained were USC students, but the shooting reinforced concerns that the campus’ location near downtown Los Angeles presents risks on and off campus.
One of the men detectives were questioning was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of attempted murder, according to Officer Rosario Herrera. No other details were released.
The shooting comes after security was strengthened following the April slayings of two Chinese graduate students about a mile from the school.
As students returned to class Thursday after the campus was shut down for three hours, school officials said they are reviewing policies regarding visitors and events but stressed that the chances of a shooting at USC are rare.
