[edit] Shooting

I've started to built up the section on September 17's shooting that involved the Dukes basket team - I've got lot of info because of the injured (I believe it was the most critical one was a Canadian and the Canadian Press was coverage of the shooting. --JForget 00:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Were the shooters students or non-students at the time? Thanks Hmains 03:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The shooters had no connection to the university at all. They were brought to the event by a university student who has since been expelled. The student was expelled because she knew that they were carrying guns and helped them to get past security.Wikiant 13:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
