One person is dead and 11 were wounded after someone opened fire at a Youngstown State University fraternity house, police said.

The shooting happened early today, and Youngstown, Ohio, police said they are still investigating.

"It was a frat party that was going on," Youngstown Police Department Lt. Franklin Palmer said.

Police arrested two men this afternoon, but did not immediately release their names, saying they were continuing to investigate.

The men were each charged with one count of aggravated murder, 11 counts of aggravated assault and one count of shooting into a house.

The two suspects got into an argument at the party, then left and came back and started shooting outside the house, Youngstown police Chief Jimmy Hughes said, according to The Associated Press.

Youngstown is literally in my back yard. This was NOT a frat house. It was a private home near the university where a party took place.

It happened with my fraternity at App State. The victim and the perp were white. We had people show up to our house with guns. Luckily, we had guys from eastern NC who weren’t scared of guns and made them go away.

"They will be brought to justice and again, in my opinion, are not fit to exist in a civilized society," he said.
Civilized? Take a look at any city in America, take a look where ever you find
the "Amish" way of life, and I dare you to find anything "civil" about it.

Black on Black violence stats are through the roof yet the silence from the NAACP is deafening.

If somebody tries to do something about it, they will complain it is
"racist" to want to reduce the murder and mayhem in a community.

Like what happened to the Philadelphia Inquirer when they
published a photo spread of the "most wanted" in Philly -
murderers and such.

Out of the fifty or more, maybe one was white, two or three Asian,
a dozen Hispanic, and the rest black. The paper was forced to
apologize for trying to help make the city and environs a safer place.

After slogging through all the pc-bs, the frat was OPP. Jesse
Jackson is a "brother". Has he weighed in on the blood shed?

An FR keyword search on "Jackson" came up with a 1/18 article.

Probably hasn't yet figured out a way to profit from this senseless
violence yet.
