Hofstra Shooting

[AOII Angel]

Wow, how sad! Ending a young life in her prime. I have no idea how you recover from something like the murder of your roommate to finish your finals, either. I've heard the whole "A" for people in that situation is urban legend.

ETA: Looks like she was a twin and she was killed in front of her sister.

No disrespect intended to the victim or her friends and family, but I don't view this crime as a "university shooting." It happened at an off-campus house.

Are you kidding me?

It involved university students in a house completely occupied by students A BLOCK FROM THE CAMPUS. I'm sure, though, that the school doesn't have to include it in their crime statistics if they find it irrelevant.

We would be wise to wait and find out if the victim was targeting university students. If he did, it matters not where the shooting occurred.

She wasn't in a local, she was in a community chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. We had a press release yesterday. Very sad

Hi All. This is my collegiate campus. The house is located feet from campus and yards from campus police - it's not as "off campus" as you would think.

This is tragic. The news just came out a few minutes on twitter that it was police gunfire that killed her, not the perp. What started as a guy looking for $ escalated quickly.

You may also have seen on twitter that this girl may be connected to Sigma Sigma Sigma. @trisigma posted on twitter that she was not a member. Her name was not on their roles. She may or may not have been pledged Sigma before or after they closed the chapter. She was listed as a member of Beta Sigma Pi in one report but I know it was Beta Sigma Phi which is not a recognized on campus group but rather regional, I believe.

My collegians reported that they were all safe but the shooting took place "at the Tri-Sig house". Again, literally feet from the campus police office. Please pray for this family.
