Delaware State U. Student Dies of Wounds From Campus Shooting

One of the students shot last month at Delaware State University in an incident that aroused fears of a Virginia Tech-like massacre has died, The News Journal, a newspaper in Wilmington, Del., reported today. The student, Shalita Middleton, a freshman, died on Tuesday of wounds suffered in the shooting. A suspect who was also a student, Loyer D. Braden, is scheduled to appear before a grand jury in early November, and is now likely to face more-serious charges. The university drew praise for its response to the incident, which apparently stemmed from a previous dispute. —Andrew Mytelka
