PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Two men allegedly involved in an altercation at Rutgers University's Livingston campus that ended with a shot being fired are now facing charges.

School officials say Josaih Agbo, of Bloomfield, and Malcolm Webb, of Newark, both face simple assault charges. Agbo also faces two weapons counts.

Both men are 22 and not affiliated with the school.
