PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Two students were shot and wounded early on Friday on the Delaware State University campus and police were hunting for a sole gunman, the school said on its Web site.

 

The students at the Dover, Delaware, school were taken to a hospital, university spokesman Carlos Holmes said. A female student had "potentially life-threatening" injuries, and the male student was in "stable condition," he said.

 

Holmes said a male suspect was still at large and students have been instructed to stay in their dormitories.

 

The university canceled classes for the day and directed non-essential personnel not to report to work.

 

"We have directed the student population to stay in their dormitories for their own safety. If we see students out and about we are going to tell them to move inside," Holmes said.

 

He said the shooting occurred at 12:54 a.m. EDT and did not have any information about who the assailant was.

 

The university alerted students of the incident by telephone, the Web site and by flyers, its Web site said, adding that until the suspect is apprehended, students, faculty and staff are being directed to remain in their buildings.

 

Students and staff who were not on the campus were told to stay away until further notice.

Thankfully, this sounds more isolated than anything and it looks like the school is handling the aftermath extremely well.

Sounds to me like a jealous boyfriend or wannabe boyfriend.

I guess when people do things right it isn't newsworthy.
