Police are still hunting down suspects in the shooting on the Tennessee State University campus in Nashville on Thursday that resulted in one death and three people injured.

Authorities on Saturday released surveillance video of the deadly shooting showing two gunmen firing away. Police said the shooting was apparently triggered by a dispute over a dice game during a student gathering in an outdoor courtyard, Reuters said.

Cameron Selmon, 19, of Memphis, who was not a student of the university, was killed.

Two students who were bystanders were shot and wounded but their injuries were not life threatening, police said. A third student was grazed by a bullet.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said they had recovered a pistol, according to Reuters.

According to the police, the shooting occurred just before 11 p.m.

University President Glenda Glover said she was shaken by the "heinous crime," which she said involved two men not enrolled in the school.

According to witnesses, they heard gunshots and several students who witnessed the altercation took videos using their cell phones.

Glover told students to wear their university-issued identification while on campus and said weapons are prohibited on campus.

Police urged those with cell phone images or recordings to share them with detectives working to catch the person or people "who indiscriminately placed people in danger by firing shots."

Gun violence has occurred at or near US schools in October including at the Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and Texas Southern University in Houston.

Last week, three people were shot and wounded during a large house party near the Tennessee State University campus.

A gunman killed nine at a community college in Oregon on Oct. 1.
