In an exclusive interview with ESSENCE.com, a freshman on the Clark Atlanta campus has said that students are buzzing about this morning’s shooting on campus, but many aren’t surprised by what happened.
“This is an educational facility,” said the student who chose to remain anonymous. “People don’t come here to get shot. I love this school, but I can’t say that I feel exactly safe here.”
Rumor on campus is that 18-year old Jasmine Lynn, a student who attended nearby Spellman College, was walking with her boyfriend at 12:30 a.m. near one of the dorms at Clark Atlanta when she was shot in the chest by a stray bullet from a nearby altercation.
Students at Spellman have organized a memorial in Lynn’s honor this evening at the school’s main gate on Westview Drive.
Detectives working on the case are said to still be working on a description of the shooter and questioning witnesses.
Lynn was majoring in psychology and minoring in business.
“I completely blame the school for this,” said the Clark Atlanta freshman who just arrived on campus two weeks ago. “As far as security goes, you don’t really have to check in with anyone to get on campus. There isn’t a gate or check point like at Spellman and Morehouse.” –WLW
