Greensboro police
said an unknown suspect fired the bullets that struck Alisia
Dieudonne, 19, a computer science major from Homewood, Illinois,
and Ahmad Campbell, 21, an agriculture and environmental systems
major from Kittrell, North Carolina.
Both students were taken to a local hospital, where they died.
No connection has been found between the students and the
shooter, who was an uninvited guest at the party, police
spokeswoman Susan Danielsen said in an email.
"This incident is extremely disturbing," university Chancellor
Harold Martin said in a statement. "Violence on or near our
campus is unacceptable."
The university, which has more than 10,000 students, held a
safety forum and offered counseling services on campus on
Sunday. Martin said the slain students were active in campus
activities.
