Police say one person has died and four others were injured in a shooting near Austin Peay University in Clarksville.

Clarksville police responded just before 9 pm Monday to a report of shots fired. Although the shooting happened about two blocks from the campus, police have no reason to believe it had anything to do with the school.  

27-year-old Vincent Pardue died, and the others were taken to area hospitals with "serious injuries.''  

Police said the five were having a cookout at a home when they came under gunfire.

Police are searching for a white Kia Soul seen leaving the area.  

The Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reports APSU issued an alert urging students to take precautions to ensure their safety.
