Just saw this on the wire a few minutes ago.

I sincerely hope the foolishness doesn't find its way to Waller county and challenges our kids' welfare there. This is homecoming weekend so... what trash rapper is being invited to campus this year to perform for them? smh
 

The block is hot down there. this is like the 3rd shooting and second murder on TSU's campus this semester.
 
Among the new security measures is an 11 p.m. curfew, the addition of more patrol shifts and a mandatory sign-in and sign-out policy at all student housing and dormitories.

They should've instilled this a long time ago, considering the access to/fro campus by outsiders. smh
 
yeah but the shooting happened in broad daylight. I'm just curious about how a curfew can be enforced in the city. They're gonna have to have exemptions.
 
I'm not sure how the curfew deal will work. It'll be a logistical nightmare to enforce.

What I find god awfully peculiar is how open sTu's campus is to outsiders and how closed uofh is w/ the fence surrounding their campus and they have what I thought were cameras just about everywhere about their campus. The most positive outcome from this negative situation is that sTu revisits its security measures to ensure the safety of all students/faculty/admins.

I KNOW I saw fence adjacent Scott and also on another street (forgot the name). It didn't look as "open" as you're claiming.

-Fence surrounding stadiums/stadium parking
-Fences at apartment complexes (same at TSU)

Rest of the campus is wide open
 
Im going to Houston for the first time (SWAC Championship)... will I be able to drive through Texas Southern campus. Ive never been there or PV before.
 
It's my understanding that a 22 y/o Jartis LeBlanc was arraigned on Sunday morning w/ a 50,000$ bond in the shooting incident charged w/ aggravated assault w/ a DW and murder.

The 2 victims that were shot were half-brothers and the shooting occurred due to an argument over a pickup game of basketball a day before the shooting.
