Georgia College Student Killed in Shooting - WSJ
SAVANNAH, Ga.—Authorities are investigating after a shooting at Savannah State University killed a student and prompted a lockdown at the Georgia school.
A statement posted on the university’s website identified the victim as Christopher Starks, a junior from the Atlanta area. The statement says he died at a hospital from gunshot wounds sustained during an altercation at the student union Thursday evening.
Loretta Heyward, a spokeswoman for the university, told the Associated Press the campus lockdown was lifted around midnight ET Thursday.
The school’s statement said no arrests have been made, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation with assistance from campus police.
The university said classes would be delayed Friday until 10 a.m., and grief counselors will be available on campus.
