American Students Offered Reassurance after Nashville Campus Shooting
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – University officials and police are reassuring jittery students that they are doing everything they can to keep Tennessee State University students safe as they continue to look for the person who shot and killed a 19-year-old man during an on-campus fight.
Two female students wounded in the shooting were released from Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday, AP reported on Saturday.
A third female student was grazed but not hospitalized after the shooting, which happened in an outdoor courtyard on the Nashville campus during an argument over a dice game around 10:50 p.m. Thursday, Metro Nashville Police Spokesman Don Aaron said. Police have not released the students' names.
Cameron Selmon, 19, of Memphis, was killed in the shooting. He was not a student at the school, Aaron said.
The shooting comes just over a week after three people were wounded by gunfire at an off-campus party across the street from the university.
As a temporary measure, Nashville police officers will patrol the campus on foot at night.
