CPS spokeswoman Marielle Sainvilus said the district worked with the university and Chicago police to provide security at the game.



Sainvilus said there was a significant security presence both inside and outside the gym, and there had been screening to prevent anyone from carrying guns into the game. All fans were also searched.



The university released a statement Thursday morning saying it was "deeply saddened by the tragic shooting death."



"(Chicago Public Schools) periodically uses the university's athletic facility to provide a neutral setting for student sporting events. This is the first such incident to occur on the campus of Chicago State University where CPS students have played many times over the last three years," the statement said.



"Additional security is provided by the university and all external partners during high school sporting events. Arrests have been made and university officials are awaiting the outcome of a full investigation to learn details about the shooting incident."
