Police are investigating a shooting in University City involving a University of Pennsylvania student and students from Drexel University.
Authorities said the University of Penn student fired 15 shots into an apartment occupied by Drexel students on 44th Street near Pine.
Police said the shooting all stemmed from an argument between a Penn student and a Drexel student about their backgrounds. The Penn student, who is Korean, was arguing with the Drexel student, who is Indian, over their backgrounds, police said.
"There's some indication that he was accusing him of being from another country, possibly being spies and that’s what he wanted to confront him about," said Lt. Walker.
According to police, the second-year University of Pennsylvania Law student shot at his neighbor's front door. The 9mm gun shot out the locks on the door.

Sounds more like a postal worker than a spy.
Given that Penn is the better school, seems like an open and shut case.

I used to live at 48th and Pine.
Ahh Diversity.
I we ugly Americans could just be like other cultures /sarc
I=If
Is the shooter Korean-American, a S. Korean, or an ethnic Korean from China?
What is this argument about? Is the 'Korean' making any pro-North argument to Indians?
I am sure local media in S. Korea would be abuzz with this story if not already. I will post an update.
A Korean Quaker and an Indian Dragon. That's just asking for trouble.
When will we pull our people out of Philadelphia and redeploy them to NJ or DE?
MY GF lived on 47th and Cedar, across the street from the Carrot Cake Man.
After someone was shot dead on her doorstep, she decided to move. Sad, I really loved that carrot cake.
Because we white folk have never killed anyone over their race, AMIRITE?
LOL.
URITE
WUT?
Just ask Filthydelphia Mayor Street. That's his excuse for rising crime in his city.
That must have been a hell of an argument. I didn't know backgrounds were that controversial!
Idiot Ivy League student didn't need the gun to argue his point. Penn IS the better school.
Just messing with ya
The Penn student, who is Korean, was arguing with the Drexel student, who is Indian, over their backgrounds, police said.
"There's some indication that he was accusing him of being from another country, possibly being spies and that’s what he wanted to confront him about," said Lt. Walker.
Authorities said because the Penn student thought the Drexel student was spying on him, he opened fire. "The victim in the case, he is petrified," said Lt. Walker, adding, "When we arrived on the scene, he was shaking."
The gunman was taken into custody for aggravated assault and is being held at Southwest Detectives.
Those crazy college kids! What are you going to do …
