ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Allentown, Pennsylvania, are investigating a shooting incident that injured four people and put a nearby college on lockdown.

It happened around 7 p.m. Tuesday near 18th and West Turner streets.

Neighbors said they heard about eight gunshots and were told by officers to stay inside.

According to District Attorney Gavin P. Holihan, a fistfight sparked a shooting outside of a home on the block. Two groups of people gathered after two men agreed to fight each other.
