NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF — Two men are facing charges in connection to a shooting that happened on Vanderbilt's campus Saturday.

Metro Police say 38-year-old Luis Enrique Ramirez Sandoval and 27-year-old Jose Humberto, were construction workers who were hired to do some work near a dorm building on campus.

The two got into an argument Saturday afternoon and then not long after shots were fired at the Sutherland building, and a 19-year-old was shot in the arm. We're told the shooting victim is expected to be OK.

Vanderbilt officers later found and arrested both suspects at the nearby Mapco on 21st Avenue South.

At one point officers reported that five people were in custody and two people were taken to the hospital.

Students don't go back to school at Vanderbilt until next Wednesday, August 21st so the good thing is the dorm was unoccupied when this happened.
