Student shot dead at US university
WASHINGTON (AFP) -
A student died early Friday after being shot at a US university in the state of Georgia, in an altercation that triggered a temporary lockdown of the campus.

Christopher Starks, a junior from the Atlanta metropolitan area, died at a local hospital following an "altercation" late Thursday at Savannah State University's student union building, the school said.

No arrests have been made, though the campus was placed on lockdown for about two hours until just before midnight (0400 GMT Friday).

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident along with campus police because the university is a state school.

It comes just days after the brazen shooting of two journalists during a live broadcast that has once again renewed calls for stricter US gun controls.

The school said classes would be delayed until 10:00 am (1400 GMT) on Friday.

"The safety of those who live, study, work and visit Savannah State University remains a top priority ?- no exceptions," the university said in a statement on its website.

"Savannah State University has zero tolerance for violence of any kind."

It urged students to report to campus police with any information about the incident or the presence of weapons on campus.

Two women told NBC affiliate WSAV there had been a fight at the student union that resulted in one person being shot in the collarbone area.

Founded in 1890, the school has about 4,100 enrolled students, 145 members of the faculty and a 173-acre (70-hectare) campus, according to its website.

This is why you can't have people packing everywhere. Instead of common altercations turning into fist fights, one person will shoot the other (like George Zimmerman/ Trayvon Martin). This isn't Tombstone, Arizona.

Re: student shot dead at Georgia university -- altercation at the Student Union
Moving our two youngest back to the university this week, we gave them each a keychain. It has a light on one end. If the light works, then the stun gun on other end works as well.

They wouldn't take 'em -- the youngest said, "We're guys, mom. We'll just hit them!"

Would be nice if you could count on the other guys to think the same way.

This is what happens when you think fist attacks are acceptable. So if fist attacks are acceptable then gun attacks aren't much different.

Fist attack is the initial hit. After that, fight's on. It should remain one-on-one and when the man's down, fight's over.

College students are supposed to be mature enough to avoid extreme confrontations. They should also be aware that ANYONE might have a weapon. Until more is known, this might be a Darwin moment.

My position is that our kids should be safe at their school or university. If every POS out there is carrying and hasn't the brains or training to know and show restraint, then we get to SHOOT BACK!

Whoa sorry I deleted too much of the quote. I had no intention of making you out to be the journalist here. Should've started my sentence with "They" or something...


My goal was to point out the terrible coverage. Not only is it a poorly written sentence, but it tries to make a point that isn't even true. The "renewed calls for gun control" are coming directly from the media, and for the press to write it like that, really twists the truth of the statement.

no, you enjoy demonizing one weapon over another.

and this: let's not let students drive cars. They kill and maim others with cars too often.

and this is why alcohol must be banned! someone had too much.


ah, the liberal overreaction.

please account for all the lives saved by guns, knives, cars and even alcohol.

they exist aplenty.

Re: student shot dead at Georgia university -- altercation at the Student Union
this is actually very close to home for me ( not me in Georgia, but family there ) and in the ages of my children, and nieces/ nephew.

but the REAL WEAPON for blacks in "altercations" at the "Student Union"

is the glorification of violence in rap music.

this student was a black aspiring rapper.



these "altercations" happen way too often at our local majority black college, and at black "music" events.
