What is wrong with people?

5 basketball players from Duquesne were randomly shot while leaving an on-campus party this weekend. One of them played at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake last year, Sam Ashaolu.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Five Duquesne basketball players, all but one of them new players who enrolled only this month, were shot early Sunday morning during an apparent act of random violence on campus. Two players were in critical condition at a hospital.

Pittsburgh police were searching for a man believed to have done the shootings, and were investigating whether anyone else was involved. The shootings occurred about 2:15 a.m. as several players were returning from an on-campus party at the student union and others were sitting on benches outside Vickroy Hall, the dormitory where the shootings took place.

The players most badly injured were 6-foot-7 forward Sam Ashaolu, a transfer from Lake Region State College and a cousin of former Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon, and Stuard Baldonado, a 6-7 transfer from Miami Dade College who was considered the Dukes' best recruit.

Just a follow up on the story. It appears they have arrested one and are looking at two others in connection with the shooting.
