(AP) -- Dormitories at Clark Atlanta University remain on lockdown as police continue to investigate the killing of a Spelman student by a stray bullet. 

Police said Jasmine Lynn of Kansas City, Mo., was struck in the chest early Thursday when at least six shots were fired during a fight at Clark Atlanta.  No arrests have been made.

Clark Atlanta president Carlton E. Brown says that for now there will be no visitors permitted at campus housing. Brown says extra campus police and Atlanta Police officers have also been called in. 

College officials and police are unsure whether students from any of the four Atlanta University Center campuses were involved in the fight that led to the shooting.
