Students inside their dorm rooms heard the shots go off outside UnionWest Saturday night. The victims told UCF Police they got into an argument with a man at the Knight Library. At one point they say the man threatened to shoot them before following them 15 miles from the bar to the UnionWest housing building where police say he fired three shots. 

"We were just hanging out with some friends when I heard the gunshots. It went like ‘bang, bang, bang.’ And we’re like it’s either fireworks or a gunshot," said one victim. 

UCF Police say they believe this was a targeted attack and that there isn’t a threat to other students. Fortunately no one was injured. 

So far, no description of a suspect has been released.
