Arnold added that a suspect had not yet been identified, the news network reported.
GSU President Rick Gallot said, “Our campus community has worked tirelessly to keep our students and others safe for the homecoming activities.
Yet, with all of our planning and coordination with our local, parish, regional, and state law enforcement partners, we still find ourselves grieving the loss of life and injuries just as too many communities in our country have experienced as well.
Why would someone come to the campus of our Dear Ole Grambling and shoot innocent people?” Students on social media reported hearing as many as 40 shots fired. Some victims were shot in the back, torso and stomach.
