Mail.comDOVER, Del. (AP) — Three people were shot and injured Saturday night at a cookout on the Delaware State University campus, officials said, and authorities are searching for the shooter.
The shooting happened at about 8 p.m. at a university-sanctioned fraternity and sorority event, DSU spokesman Carlos Holmes said. Three people were taken to Kent General Hospital in Dover with injuries that were not life-threatening, Holmes told The Associated Press.
DSU President Harry L. Williams said in a news release that the victims’ names have not been released and it isn’t clear whether they are Delaware State students. No arrests had been made as of 2:30 a.m. EDT Sunday. Williams said students have been told to stay inside their dormitories. Non-students were asked to leave campus.
“The safety of our students continues to be paramount and our police will aggressively continue their investigation until an arrest or arrests are made in this shooting incident,” Williams said. DSU campus police is leading the investigation, with help from the Dover Police Department, Delaware State Police and other agencies.
A second shooting occurred early Sunday at an apartment complex just off campus, but no one was injured. Holmes said it was unclear whether the two shooting incidents were related. In early November, a student was shot at a residence hall near the campus in what authorities determined was an isolated act. Two people were charged.
Delaware State University is a historically black university that has more than 4,100 full- and part-time students.
It is a well established truth/fact that a well armed populace dissuades such criminality because if such were the case, after the first shot is fired the criminal would be Swiss cheese.No jail time. No more chance to do it again. This threat to criminals would be a present notice to those thinking to do such a thing, that they have entered into a situation where once in, they won’t be leaving. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which is Hypocrisy. Our political servants can bear arms, they have Sheriffs, Police, FBI etc. for their defensive protection. Yet, they desire everyone to be vulnerable to whomever wishes to shoot at the disarmed. That’s 2 sets of rules. One for them and one for us while they claim to do all they do to better mankinds societies. That is Hypocrisy! The table must and will be swept clean. Be of good courage. Never give up, and never surrender!
end gun free zones and the terror will stop pronto. Arm the teachers and you will find the perps dead. Problem solved. I do not approve of violence but self defense is a must.
Ban cookouts.
I’m REALLY REALLY suspicious of all of these college campus shootings in which no one is arrested. I said that last week, you posted a couple of them. wtf? This can’t be. No way.
