Someone in the area started shooting a gun as a group of eight to 10 students left a cafe about 1 a.m. ET Friday, said school Police Chief James Overton.
"Approximately four to six shots were fired," said Overton. A 17-year-old male student was shot once and is hospitalized in stable condition and a 17-year-old female student was shot twice and is in serious condition, he said.
"The female student, her injuries were more serious and they could potentially be life-threatening," university spokesman Carlos Holmes said. "We're praying, we're hoping for the best for her."
Both victims are from the Washington D.C. area, Overton said.
Police "have identified two persons of interest -- both students -- one of whom has been located and we are in the process of interviewing," Overton said.

University junior Akosua Afiriyie-Hwedie, who lives near Memorial Hall, said word of the shooting was spread mostly by phone. She said she has heard nothing about possible suspects.
"I've been following it on the news ... and they've been updating the Web site," Afiriyie-Hwedie said. "Basically they told us to just remain indoors and not go anywhere at all until further notice."
No one is being allowed in or out of campus dormitories while university and city police pursue the suspect, the school statement said. The school houses about 1,700 students.
Immediately after the shooting, Holmes said, the university posted "timely warning notifications" in residential halls, on Web sites and on campus phone messages.
"Any time you pick up a phone you automatically hear a message that lets you know the situation," Holmes said. "We've used everything we have at our disposal."

An investigation report released in August criticized officials at Virginia Polytechnic Institute after the shooting deaths of dozens of students on April 16. An independent investigative panel that released its assessment concluded that more timely and specific information by Virginia Tech officials might have saved lives.
Seung-Hui Cho, 23, killed 32 students and staff at Virginia Polytechnic before killing himself. Seventeen others were wounded in the shootings.
The university was struck by tragedy last month when three teens who were either enrolled at Delaware State or in the process of doing so were shot to death execution-style in a Newark, New Jersey, school yard. Another teen was wounded.
Asked about the impact of the Newark killings, Afiriyie-Hwedie told CNN, "People are really worried, and basically some people are trying to figure out whether things are connected or not, but on the most part they don't think it is."
The university was founded in 1890 as the State College for Colored Students, a land grant college for agriculture and mechanical arts. The school now considers itself diversified.
The 400-acre main campus is located on the north side of Dover, Delaware's capital.
