A shooting occurred near the University of Notre Dame's campus in South Bend, Indiana, on Saturday night during a football game. The incident took place around 7:30 p.m. ET at Eddy Street Commons, an area featuring retail and dining located south of the stadium, just as the game against Michigan State was beginning.

Authorities reported that a single gunshot resulted in injuries to a woman and a South Bend police officer.
