A suspect remains at large following a shooting incident that occurred on the evening of September 19, 2026, near Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana. The incident took place at the Eddy Street Commons, a retail and dining hub located south of the stadium, just as the University of Notre Dame football game against Michigan State was beginning. According to South Bend Police Chief Scott Ruszkowski, the gunfire was triggered by a fight that broke out at a local bar. During the altercation, a single gunshot was fired, resulting in injuries to two individuals. A woman sustained a non-life-threatening wound to her leg and was transported to a hospital. Additionally, a South Bend police officer was injured by a ricocheted bullet and received treatment at the scene; his condition is also not believed to be life-threatening. A third person was injured during the fight but was not struck by gunfire. Prior to the shooting, Notre Dame police reported a man pointing a gun at people in the area. Officers located a male matching the initial description but found him unarmed. The actual suspect, described as a heavy-set male wearing blue shorts, a black shirt, and one white shoe, escaped the scene. The suspect was last seen on the south edge of the campus. In response to the threat, the Notre Dame Alert Emergency System issued a warning, and university officials ordered fans inside the stadium to remain in place while others on campus were instructed to shelter in place. Officers from the South Bend Police Department, Notre Dame Police, and St. Joseph County Police Department secured the area and conducted searches. The game concluded with a 27-10 victory for the Irish. Authorities are urging the public to avoid the area and to remain vigilant. Individuals with information regarding the suspect's location or identity are asked to contact the South Bend Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to Michiana Crime Stoppers Inc. by calling 574-288-7867 or visiting their online portal.
