Two people were shot early Sunday at Clinton College in Rock Hill, police said.
The shootings happened just before 1 a.m. on campus during an event held in the gymnasium, said Lt. Michael Chavis of the Rock Hill Police Department.
Officers responding to the incident found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound on campus, and a 17-year-old with a gunshot wound was found at Piedmont Medical Center, Chavis said.

Counselors will be available Monday for students and employees, Giddens said.
