Another shooting has occurred on a college campus. According to reports by Associated Press, the shooting happened at Tennessee State University shortly before 11 p.m. on Oct. 22.
Several people were allegedly playing dice on the school’s courtyard when a dispute over money led to violence. A fight broke out and some students recorded the melee with their cellphone cameras. At some point, one of the people involved in the fight began shooting and people scattered while trying to find cover.
When the shooting stopped, it was discovered that a 19-year-old non-student was killed. Also, three female students were shot while being innocent by-standers. One of the female students only suffered a slight graze and didn’t need medical attention and the other two were rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Both are expected to make full recoveries.
However, the person responsible for the shooting has not been caught and police do not have a description of the suspect. Students who were on campus at the time will likely be questioned and asked to provide information about the suspect.
This is the 22nd shooting to erupt on a college campus in 2015 and serves as another example of how America has lost control when it comes to gun violence.
