Christopher
Starks, a junior from the Atlanta area, was shot during an
"altercation" late on Thursday at the university's student union
and transported to a local hospital where he died, said school
spokeswoman Loretta Heyward.
"Mr. Starks was the only individual transported to a medical
facility following the incident," she said in an emailed
statement. No arrests had been made, she added.
The campus of the historically black university is in the heart
of Savannah, an Atlantic seaport that is Georgia's oldest city.
The incident came a day after two television journalists were
killed by a gunman during a live broadcast in Virginia.
