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.
As of mid-day Sunday, no arrests had been made.
Kibler says the university cannot discuss the motive due to the ongoing investigation.
University President Mark Keenum announced he believes the shooting was an isolated incident, and there's no indication of any danger to other students; however, university and Starkville residents were cautioned to be aware of an African American male looking for a ride to Jackson.
Shortly after the shooting, the university began sending a series of text message alerts to students.
University Police are heading the investigation with the help of Starkville Police, Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Department and Mississippi Highway Patrol.

Thank you
I shall post it.
Keep em coming Freepers!
I want to archive all murderers that look like Obama’s son, if he had a son, during the period of Feb 26 2012 to current.
Looks like Obama’s son : vetted by the DNC owned press as being Politically Correct.
Which city and if you have a link, I’ll post it in a new thread.
Thank you.
Wow. He could pass for Joe Biden’s son.

Thank you I appreciate it. This man has gotten all but 20 seconds of coverage, that is apparently all his life was worth to the press, 20 seconds. The media hypocrisy in this country is mind boggling. I don’t even recognize this country anymore, its like I woke up and we are living in the Twilight Zone
Its deliberate and its to shape policy.
Let’s push back.
Attn Freepers:
Send me all links to murders of Whites , women and Hispanics and I will post them for you.
Images etc- Ill do all the work and if you want give you credit!
Generally, when there is a shooting on a college campus, the media is stampeding over each other to report it.
Her name was Aliyah, she was a beautiful little girl, snuffed up at the age of 6 just for sitting on her front porch. No candlelight vigil for her, no protest march in her honor, no bounty on the head of her murderer..no show of solidarity from the Miami Heat, nothing. I wonder how the families of those 10 victims in Chicago feel, majority of which probably voted for Obama, know that he doesn’t give a damn about them or the lives that were lost. Their lives mattered, but not to Obama, he only shows phony outrage when it benefits HIM
Are you sure you want to do that, it is going to take a lot of your time?
At least they arrested the b@stard thug. First I heard was that he was seen on surveillance tape but not yet ID’d. I hope they put him away for the rest of his worthless life. No sympathy at all. We’re getting the h3ll out of Lancaster as soon as we can save up enough money!!
You’re right, lady. No howls of outrage, no $10,000 bounty offered for the killer, and nothing but shrieking silence from Obama.
I would say they should be ashamed of themselves but that would require some idea of what shame is. And Obama, Jackson, Sharpton and their ilk have none.
No
“If Obama had a tire store...”
Yeah the high desert has unfortunately been taken over by gangs. Areas like Fontana, San Bernardino, Riverside, its a shame, used to be a nice area to live, not anymore. I live on the Westside(I think I’m the only Conservative here LOL) and its no better. I hear about crimes(Armed robberies, etc) taking place all the time in Culver City and other areas. If the majority of my family didn’t live here in SoCal I would have left a long time ago and moved to Texas
Obama won’t comment. It’s not a theme he can mine on the campaign trail. Someone in the press corps could ask his spokesman.
Spare me...
