It happened last night around 10 at night. It looks like this guy was a specific target, but classes are cancelled today anyway. He was a football player, apparently people really liked him.

That sucks. Even if it was targeted at just the one guy, it’s still incredibly disturbing to have something like that happen on campus. It just seems like schools should be _safe_ places, you know? I hope they find the person/people responsible!
