Therefore, this shooter broke the law. And I don;t see how that could happen. I mean, there's a Law against what he did, didn't he know that?
He's gonna be in big trouble.

EAST ORANGE, N.J. – A man who was denied access to a private party at an apartment near Seton Hall University left and returned with a handgun, fatally shooting a university student and wounding four other people.
Seton Hall student Jessica Moore, 19, died from her injuries at 3:20 p.m. Saturday, said Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office.
Moore had been hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting just after midnight.
The other four victims were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, but one has since been released, said East Orange Police Sgt. Andrew Di Elmo.
Di Elmo says the victims did not know the shooter, who fled from the apartment on foot. Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect's capture.
Police said that in addition to Moore, two of the other victims are both 19-year-old female students at Seton Hall, and one is a 25-year-old male student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
The fifth victim is a 20-year-old man from New York City who is not a student.
Police were not releasing the other victims' names because the shooter remains at-large, Di Elmo said.
A man who said he had stopped by the party told The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was in the kitchen and heard people shouting in the living room when a shot rang out.
The man declined to give his full name to the newspaper because he feared for his safety.
More shots were fired as the panicked crowd stampeded toward the back of the house to try to escape, the man said. He told the newspaper he went back into the house as police arrived and saw one of the victims lying on the floor.

Because that will keep any more students from being shot in off-campus apartments?
Sounds like some chick told this guy to pound sand as they were preparing to have a booze-fueled college sex party, and he got all mad about it.
Similar things are occurring along the Arizona border when they are denied access. Weird.
scumbag suspect has “dark complexion” ????
..and full beard.
This isn’t funny.
Therefore, this shooter broke the law. And I don;t see how that could happen. I mean, there's a Law against what he did, didn't he know that?
He's gonna be in big trouble.
...sounds like a hate crime.
Yes, I see they finally said, that, after saying “dark-skinned” previously. Sheesh. People could have been looking for an Amish guy with a tan, or a Peruvian.
“Private party at an apt? Hello, they weren’t studying for their mid-terms.”
And just where else would students be having a private party?
I went to many back in the early 60s, in off campus apartments, and I can assure you, they were not drunken sex orgies.
This is an expensive school in a bad area.

“Former student robbed at gunpoint near campus”
“A former Seton Hall student was robbed at gunpoint at around 1:45 a.m., Sept. 25, about one block from the University’s campus, according to a broadcast e-mail.
The woman was walking alone near the intersection of Fairview Terrace and Gardner Ave., the broadcast said.
There is no connection between this incident and the shooting in East Orange involving three Seton Hall students, according to a University official.
According to the e-mail, the victim told South Orange police that the suspect was a male and acted alone. He was wearing a black ski mask and blue jeans. She also told police that he jumped out of the bushes at her, placed “what she believed to be a handgun to her head” and demanded valuables.”
