Albany State University was filled with dancing, cheers and celebration Saturday after the Golden Rams took victory in the university’s homecoming game.

The shooting took place around 8:50 p.m. Saturday, according to the university, around the time a “Back to the Yard Celebration Concert” was taking place on the lower East Campus as part of the school’s homecoming week festivities.
