One person, who was not a student, was arrested for disorderly conduct, Dayton police said.
UD and Dayton officers cleared the student neighborhood and sent students home due to the “increase in enforcement actions and for the safety of our entire community,” according to the university.
After the crowd dispersed, an additional six people were arrested nearby for disorderly-related offenses, Dayton police said.
None of the six were UD students.
A person also fired a gun into the air, according to Dayton police. Officers arrested a 19-year-old suspect and recovered the gun. It was not clear if they were a student.
Brown Street was briefly closed to traffic between Stewart and Wyoming streets and reopened after crowds left.
“Throughout the evening, Dayton police officers and UD police were actively monitoring activity on and around campus,” said a Dayton police representative. “Their presence allowed for a rapid response that mitigated potential threats and kept the area as safe as possible.”
