One dead, 1 wounded in shooting at TSU

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.

“He was a beautiful young man trying to get his life together,” Rudley said. “I wish he was still here.”

So exactly what’s the story here? Most people attending college today are not there “to try and get their lives together!”

“Trying to get his life together”?

Sounds like a gang deal.

“...trying to get his life together...” provides an interesting vector into a probable link, and cause. Darned guns, wish they would get their darned life together,

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 dead and 1 wounded don’t qualify it for a school massacre status. Got to be at least 4 “victims” of “gun violence” for that.

TSU and Northern Arizona University on the same day.

You would think that college kids would aim for better instead of being dead or convicted of murder.

When I was in college this was never on our agenda. What is wrong with these idiots?

Other reports said housing near the campus. Which is it? Only the agenda drivers know for sure.
