MOSCOW, ID - The University of Idaho says no one was injured when a gun shot was fired into the window of a campus residence hall.

School administrators issued a statement saying a single shot was fired at the Targhee Fine Arts residence hall around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. The bullet hit a lighting fixture then ricocheted into a cinder block wall. Police found a 45 caliber shell casing east of the residence hall.

An initial investigation into the shooting suggested the gun may have been fired from nearby Blake Avenue in Moscow. Witnesses reported two men traveling in a white sport utility vehicle were in the area around the time of the shooting, though no suspects have been named.

Authorities say anyone with information should contact Moscow police at (208) 882-2677.
