As a student at Seton Hall, I thought i'd be the first to share this information with you.

Announcement: Xavier Hall Incident
Issuing Office: Office of Student Affairs
02/11/2008 09:41 PM
At approximately 8:23 this evening, a non-student, young male shot himself and then came to Xavier Hall seemingly in search of a friend who is a SHU student.
As a result of the self-inflicted gun shot injury, the male has been transported to the hospital for treatment. Additionally, since the weapon has not yet been found, the campus is in a lockdown status until further notice.
No student or any other person was injured. The South Orange Police and members of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office are on the campus investigating the incident.
An update will be posted as soon as information is available, but no later than 10:30 pm.

This is an announcement from the inside, but you can also see information from news sources. ABC is following the story and so is FOX. ABC has it on its homepage (www.7online.com)

Ok the lock down was lifted.

Apparently the guy shot himself off campus, and walked to campus looking for a girl. She called 911, and the police came to the campus looking for the gun. No gun was found, but they don't believe it to be on campus so its returning to normal operation.

Sounds like a case of over-reaction.

Yes thats exactly what it was... everybody was saying there was a shooting, but in reality, can you consider somebody shooting themselves in the stomach a school schooting? No. So it was a complete over reaction from my school. But I guess its better to be safe the sorry.
