A student was shot to death at a Mississippi State University residence hall late Saturday night, prompting campus-wide alerts as authorities searched for suspects who fled the scene. The university held a press conference Sunday morning at 10 a.m. to release more details.

Bill Kibler, vice president of student affairs, stated the victim's name is John Sanderson, age 21, from Madison, MS. Sanderson is a first year student at MSU and transferred there from Holmes Community College.

The 911 call was placed at 9:54 p.m. Saturday night, and police arrived at Evans Hall within minutes. The shooting occurred in a first floor dorm room.

Sanderson was transported by ambulance to Oktibbeha County Hospital Regional Medical Center around 10:20 and was declared dead there at around 11:30 p.m.

Evans Hall, which houses about 300 male students, has security cameras at each entrance. That video footage has been downloaded and turned over to police. Dorm residents have to go through three separate key card entrances before reaching a residence room.

Three African American male suspects reportedly fled the scene in a blue Crown Victoria. Authorities believe the suspects fled the campus and probably the city of Starkville. Twenty four students from adjacent rooms were relocated after the shooting primarily to preserve the crime scene. A gun was recovered on campus but authorities did not say where it was found...

Where are the protests and media driven church services for this victim of interracial crime?

Where are the protests and media driven church services for this victim of interracial crime?

From Wilkepedia

“And according to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder blacks.”

So when do Al $harlitan and Je$$e Jack$on appear to stir things up? When will Obama call the man’s mother?

If Obama had a son, the killer would look just like him.

Late Saturday, 21-year-old John Sanderson of Madison, Miss., was shot to death in a Mississippi State University dormitory, though the killing appears to be isolated, according to university officials.

Early Sunday, a 19-year-old freshman at Jackson State University died from being shot in the face and killed at an off-campus apartment pool party in Jackson. Police identified the victim as Nolan Ryan Henderson III of Atlanta.

I’m assuming that this murder happened in one of those “gun free zones”.

Where are the protests and media driven church services for this victim ...

1. Perhaps this crime doesn’t fit the needs of the Alinsky crowd and their media slaves.

2. There is NOT enough information here to make a judgment. I (unlike Jesse Jackson, Obama, the New Black Panthers, Dick Gregory, Al Sharpton, etc.) refuse to speculate either way on this case just yet. I don’t know if it was primarily racial. I don’t know what other students might have seen/heard. I don’t know why the victim transferred from his previous community college or if it is even a factor. There is far too much unknown.

3. I am sick of race-baiting. Period.

“Twoshay” (intentional misspelling), ‘gator. Very funny!!!

Did they find the shooter and decline to charge him?

That is the crux of the protests - not that a supposed white (he is Hispanic) killed a black - but that a boy was killed and nobody was charged.

I don’t like making things about race - but sometimes you can’t help but think there might be a thumb on the scale of justice. I am less sure that if a white 17 year old was shot dead in a confrontation of this type that the shooter wouldn’t be charged.

Gee, I was just starting to warm up to it ... :-(

I see a lot wrong with this sentiment. It seems clear to me, as far as this is possible, that race was just not the driving factor in the actions of the police. What seems wrong to me is the idea of black/white as two equal but opposite entities, like matter/anti-matter or something. Just switch and compare. But look at the background of the two. Where are you going to find a black self appointed neighborhood watchman licensed to carry who devotes his time to detecting and preventing break ins at a gated community and pesters the police with 911 calls in the process? For the converse case, I'm sure there are plenty of white gangsta types, but is this guy going to try to take down the black guy with his fists? It's just hard to picture. You know that's a whole black thang, right? slugging down random people with one punch and exalting in it? It's a game.

As per my other remarks, these shooters didn't call 911 BEFORE the shooting then wait around for the cops to arrive so they could surrender themselves and offer complete cooperation.
