HOUSTON -- One person was killed and another was wounded in a shooting on the Texas Southern University campus Friday, according to Houston police.
It happened at student housing in the 3400 block of Blodgett.
Three suspects approached the victims in the parking lot and opened fire. TSU President John Rudley said the student who died was a freshman. His name has not been released.
"He was a beautiful young man trying to get his life together," Rudley said. "I wish he was still here."
Two suspects were later detained, but a third got away, according to HPD spokesperson Jody Silva. All of them are TSU students, according to Rudley. He believes guns are too easily accessible.
"This is becoming too regular," he said.
The campus was put on lockdown and Friday's classes were canceled. The lockdown was lifted Friday afternoon.
The shooting happened at the same student housing complex where another person was shot overnight. That victim was treated and released.
It's not clear if the two incidents are related.
“As if guns were less available to college students in the past. The man is too stupid to be any kind of an educator.”
+1. Guns have been widely available in this country for 250 years. What is new are psychopathic mutants generated by society for the last 20 years or so. Maybe they should look into the cause of that.
Sounds like a routine BOB shooting.
Someone didn’t pay their herb bill?
When will the news start reporting multiple fatality car accidents nationally???
He was going to marry one of his baby momma’s.
TSU has more in common with South Chicago than a college campus.
+1 to your thoughts.
LOL....SO true.
Ban psychopathic mutants!
... a historically black institution, the university provides academic and research programs that address critical urban issues and prepare an ethnically diverse student population..
************************************************
I haven’t researched the make up of the student body, but can say that’s a BS statement by Tx Southern. Like Grambling, it’s probably 98% black. They don’t have an ethnically diverse student population.
Liberal is too mild an Epithet. Marxist? Stalinist? Facist? That fits.
Liberal sounds like Woody Allen talking about petting on the first date. ‘Socialist’ is closer but not really describing the evil that exists in America today.
How about providing degree programs that will help graduates get a job?
That really nails it.
I would suggest that ‘Liberal’. as a word, is easily on par with the others and has racked up as much death, disease, destruction and suffering under it’s manner as straight up Marxism ever did. And as such deserves to be reviled along side them.
