Re: Iup basketball

Michelle Fryling has anounced that 2 of the 4 people injured are IUP students. This implies that the shooters were not. since she reports on IUP students. Now maybe she is waiting for more info from police but I'm thinking the real problem here are visitors.

One of my Facebook friends lives in Indiana Borough and was saying that a lot of the problems with the 'visitors' are drug-related. I can't say that I'm shocked, to be honest.

Show goes on ... campus is insane right now.

Why let a death and 3 others critical kill the party. Tonight will be another crap show.

Re: Iup basketball

Not confirmed but it sounds like the deceased victim was a student at Indiana High School.

Re: Iup basketball

Yes. One confirmed dead. The three others are listed in critical condition. Two suspects in custody.

At least two of the victims have been confirmed as IUP students. It has not been said if the deceased victim was a student.

Re: Iup basketball

Valid. But .. when three separate shootings go down on Friday night of IUPATTY'S ... and end up all over the mainstream media ... it doesn't matter if they were students or not. It all gets linked to IUP in public perception.

Absolutely bad PR at the worst possible time. There was a group trying to reduce the problems, that included university, police, and other groups. Obviously they failed. They have to make IUP unfriendly to these visitors, maybe do some intelligence gathering about where the problems are coming from. Maybe stop the third and forth chances

Edit - WDAD is reporting that one victim had died - so sad

Re: Iup basketball

They've only confirmed two shootings, which the cops say are unrelated (I call BS on that one): 12th and Philadelphia for the first scene around 1, then on Oakland Street an hour later.

Third event was firing a weapon, no one was hurt. there was property damage. good old copper Beech

Re: Iup basketball

How do we know that the actors involved in the shootings were students and not 'townie trash'? Because, believe me, California Borough had their fair share of townie trash (emphasis on the word 'trash') who made that town almost unbearable at times.

Driscoll can't control his animals. His firing is long past due. Yet ... the morons wonder why enrollment keeps falling. This isn't a college anymore. It's a sewer full of 'students' who happened to spell their names right on their applications.

Re: Iup basketball

Great start to IUPatty's last night with two separate shootings. More great publicity.

Yeah, they really need to put the hammer down to discourage the bad element visitors that do most of this. close off parking spaces, get the bars to close at 8 like Penn State did, shut down parties with arrests, maybe even some kind of stop and frisk or DUI checkpoints. The university needs to crack down with heavy punishments for students who are cited during these events .

THen again, at least a former president has not been found guilty of Child endangerment.

It's also all over all the Pittsburgh channels now.
