Two students at the University of Mississippi were caught on a Ring security camera outside the apartment of several Black students making monkey gestures and sounds, CBS News reported.

The footage was recorded by a camera positioned outside the building where the group of Black students lived. In the clip, the two students can be seen making monkey‑like gestures and emitting sounds that many observers described as racially offensive.

Jericka Duncan, a student at the university, spoke with the students in the apartment after the video was discovered. Duncan said she was shocked by the behaviour and expressed concern about the safety of the residents.

The university has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident, but local authorities are reportedly reviewing the footage.

The incident has sparked discussions about campus safety and racial harassment at the University of Mississippi.
