DOVER, Del. (AP) - Police arrested an 18-year-old man in the shooting of two students at Delaware State University, authorities said Monday. As they led him into a courthouse, he told reporters: “I’m sorry.”
Loyer D. Braden, arrested about 3 a.m. in his dorm room, was charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment, as well as a gun charge, according to court documents.
A justice of the peace set bail for the East Orange, N.J., teenager at $75,000 and ordered him to stay away from the victims and Delaware State. Braden is a freshman at Delaware State, according to a man at Braden’s home in East Orange who identified himself only as a family member.
University offficials, who had assured the campus community over the weekend that the gunman was not on campus, could not explain how or when Braden returned to his dorm room.

THE TAMPA TRIBUNE
TAMPA -- A University of South Florida student diagnosed with bacterial meningitis has died, a school spokesman confirmed this afternoon.
Rachel Futterman, a 19-year-old member of the Delta Gamma sorority, became ill Friday and went to the hospital Saturday, where she later was placed on life support.
The university's Student Health Services and the Hillsborough County Health Department identified about 40 people who might have had contact with her, said Egilda Terenzi, director of USF health services.
About 60 students had been vaccinated by midday in an effort initiated by the university to avoid any spread of the disease.
