DOVER, Del. (AP) - A Delaware State University student wounded in a campus shooting last month died of her injuries on Tuesday, her family said. Shalita K. Middleton, a 17-year-old freshman biology major from Washington, D.C., died about 3:30 p.m. at Christiana Hospital in Newark, according to a family statement released by the university.
"She struggled valiantly over the last several weeks and she was an inspiration," the family said. "Ultimately, however, the internal injuries that she suffered were in the end too critical to overcome."
Middleton was shot in the abdomen when gunfire broke out on campus Sept. 21. Nathaniel Pugh, another 17-year-old student from Washington, suffered an ankle wound. Freshman Loyer D. Braden, 18, is accused of shooting them.
