College Shooting by Addison Jordan

Summary: Friday afternoon at South Carolina State University a student was shot and killed on campus. Police are still on a hunt to find the suspects . Orangeburg County’s coroner, Samuetta Marshall, identified the dead student as Brandon Robinson who was 20 years old.

           

            Around 1:30 Friday afternoon campus police were called to the Andrew Hugine Suites Living and Learning community and found Robinson injured.  The school of approximately 4000 students was put on lockdown for several hours after the incident, but a few hours later the restrictions were lifted. The campus Facebook page still urged people to “remain cautious and report any suspicious activity to the police. Police reported that eyewitnesses saw 4 suspects leaving the area after the incident happened.

"He was a very nice young man," said South Carolina State University President, Thomas Elzey, fighting back tears in a brief statement to reporters. "And it hurts. It hurts us all."  The school counselors were available to assist grieving students.

Analysis: School shootings are happening way to frequently. What is the need to go to a school and shoot people? Just this week there were 3 shooting at Universities that either killed or injured students. That is just crazy and it’s very sad to hear that someone would do something like that.
