Another day, another death on a college campus. This time, someone was murdered within a dorm room at the Mid-Atlantic Christian University. Yesterday at approximately 1 PM police were called to the 700 block of Poindexter Street at Mid-Atlantic Christian University, where they discovered a dead body of someone who had been shot.
Shortly after the shooting, the gunman, who has yet to be identified turned himself in. Police believe that the shooting was related to a personal feud between the two.
