Police Hunt Killer Who Gunned Down Hero College Student

Police in New Jersey are searching for the gunman who opened fire at an off-campus party near Seton Hall University, killing an honors student who tried to help a wounded friend.

Four people were wounded in the shootings early Saturday. Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and the school is making counselors available on campus today.

"It's very much an active investigation," East Orange Police Sgt. Andrew DiElmo told AOL News today. "There are no suspects or arrests."

The gunman reportedly was turned away from the party in East Orange, about a mile from campus, but returned and opened fire, reportedly shooting people at random. As the shots rang out, the 100 party-goers scrambled to get out of the chaotic scene inside the row house.

Jessica Moore, 19, of Disputanta, Va., was gunned down moments after going to help one of her friends who was shot in the jaw, a witness told The New York Times.

"Everyone was running out; everyone was watching out for themselves," Jessica Townsend, 19, told the newspaper. "She said, 'I'm going to protect Nakeisha.'"

Nakeisha Vanterpool, a 19-year-old sophomore from the Bronx, was also shot in the arm.

"Jess was an amazing person -- the type who loved everyone, even if she only knew you for two minutes," Vanterpool told The Star-Ledger of Newark by e-mail. "She is more than my friend -- she is my sister."

Also wounded were another 19-year-old female student at the school, a man who attends New Jersey Institute of Technology and a man from New York who is not a student, The Associated Press said.

"It's every parent's nightmare," Vanterpool's father, Leslie Vanterpool, told the New York Daily News. "No parent should have to wake up to hear your kid is shot while attending college."

An unidentified survivor who was on the floor spoke of having the gunman step on her back as he fired randomly. The woman, a 19-year-old sophomore, was left with a bruise in the shape of a shoe print on her back, The Star-Ledger reported.

"I was literally the floor for the shooter -- he was standing on me," she told the newspaper. "When the gunshots stopped, all I saw was blood and Jess lying there."

One of the shooting victims, Xavier Lee, 21, had his left toe grazed by a bullet, fracturing a bone.

"I felt the sharp pain in my foot, so I knew I was hit," Lee told WABC-TV. "I'm hearing all these gunshots, and people screaming and everything."

"It was one of the worst things I've ever seen," Lee told the station. "You know, people were climbing over each other trying to get out. People were getting knocked over. It was the worst."

After the gunman fled, police were interviewing witnesses.

"They're following up on some leads," DiElmo told The Star-Ledger. "There were 50-plus people at that party. So, there's a lot of people they're still tracking down who fled. ... It was mayhem."

About 500 of Moore's fellow students, friends and teachers gathered Saturday night for a prayer service. Hours after she was slain, Moore, a psychology major, was remembered as strong and selfless, The Associated Press reported.

"She had a magnetic personality," friend Christian Powe told AP after the service.

He and Moore became "real tight" after taking a rhetoric class together. He told AP she's a person "you can really open up to."

Students wrote tributes to Moore on a bulletin board at a dorm, and an electronic sign near the student center said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected," the Times said.

The party was mostly for students from Seton Hall, a 10,000-student Roman Catholic university in South Orange, a suburb about 15 miles from New York City and a separate jurisdiction from the town where the shooting took place.

While the home where the party was held was on a street of well-kept houses, a major cross street leads to a rougher area. The university urges students going off campus to walk in groups.

The university's website lists 27 Greek organization but unofficial fraternities have been linked to the university, the Times reported. One came to light when two students were charged with assault in a 2005 hazing-related case, the paper said.

A dorm fire in 2000 killed three students and injured 58. It was started by two students who had been drinking.

Brand new uniforms for all 30 NBA teams

We've heard all about the uniform redesigns for the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers. We know about the tweaks made by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks. Jerseys be changin', you guys.

But did you know that every single team in the whole NBA will be wearing new jerseys next season? Totally true, because adidas has basically reinvented the NBA jersey without actually changing the way it looks besides tons of extra holes. Confused? Yeah, me too. But check out these sick details on the new "Revolution 30" unis.

Designed and developed by adidas, the uniforms are 30 percent lighter and dry twice as fast as previous NBA uniforms to help enhance player performance by keeping athletes cooler, drier and more comfortable on the court. All 30 NBA teams will wear the new uniforms beginning this season. [...]

The new uniforms, which are made from 60 percent recycled materials, feature adidas' Formotion technology, which reduces seams, decreases friction between the garment and the player's skin and optimizes the player's natural movement through specially constructed material. adidas reduced uniform weight and increased player comfort by switching front and back numbers from heavier, dense materials to breathable mesh. The new uniform absorbs moisture in less than three seconds as a result of adidas CLIMACOOL fabrics, which move heat and sweat away from the body through a combination of moisture management materials, ventilation channels, and three-dimensional garments, helping the uniform dry twice as fast.

Boom — 30 new uniforms all up in your face. They're cool (literally), they're sustainable (kind of), and they optimize player movement (seems chill?). What else could you ask for in a basketball uniform? Nothing, that's what else, because these are going to be a joy to wear.

[Jazz to rock throwback green uniforms]

Probably the best part of these uniforms — aside from the fact that they look significantly less shiny than the previous way-too-shimmery fabric used in the old kits — is that they have special ventilation channels that allow more air into the sweatiest parts of a player's body. We're talking on the back, on the chest and around the crotch. The real hot spots, which definitely need some cooling. There's no telling how this will affect Chauncey Billups'(notes) head or Lamar Odom's(notes) arms, but we can only hope for the best.

The new jerseys are available for purchase for all 30 teams, so if you're into that sort of thing, pick up a few over at the NBA's store. If you're not, enjoy your super sweaty tanktops, creepo.

Throwback Tuesdays: Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock

Classic Gang Documentary made in 1994



The documentary painted a hopeless and pessimistic view of the violence in the city. At the time Little Rock was one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Sitting at the intersection of two major interstates from Los Angeles and New York, it had become a haven for drug trafficking. There were prominent gang presences of Bloods, Crips and Hoover's Folk Nation.

The documentary brought much attention to the problems in the city; the Little Rock Police force was quadrupled. As a result, the street gang problem was nearly eradicated.

While gang presence did decrease in the middle 90s, there is current evidence that local youth are once again beginning to identify with street gangs and drug dealers. Many intervention and prevention programs were not funded causing an increase once again in violence among youth.

Steve Nawojczyk GangWar who was the county coroner during the Gang War years, and was featured in the documentary, continues to work in the intervention and prevention of youth gangs. While Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock followed Nawojczyk while he did his grim work as the county's chief coroner, it also showed his attempts at reducing the record-high homicide rate in Arkansas' capital city.

There was a follow up documentary released in 2004 called Gang War 2- Back in the Hood.

Sons of ex-NBA players joining same team

It's probably not a good sign for the future of Michigan basketball that there may be more star power in the stands at Crisler Arena next season than on the court.

Jordan Dumars, son of ex-Pistons star Joe Dumars, will be a sophomore at Michigan this season. Jon Horford and Tim Hardaway Jr. are part of this season's incoming freshman class. And then on Tuesday, class of 2012 wing Glenn Robinson III, son of former Purdue star Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson, announced that he has committed to the Wolverines.

"I just talked to my mom and dad and coaches and everybody in my family," the younger Robinson told UMHoops.com. "Yesterday I just started to like it more and more and I figured there was no point in waiting. Michigan is where I want to go. They have a great academic program and basketball program. I just like everything about Michigan and that's where I want to be. I think I'll fit perfectly."

Big Ten fans might be curious why Robinson wouldn't attend Purdue like his father, but the answer is because the Boilermakers haven't shown much interest so far. In fact, Michigan was the only Big Ten scholarship offer Robinson had along with the likes of Colorado, Valparaiso, Missouri State and others.

If recruiting the sons of NBA players is going to be coach John Beilein's unusual niche, then maybe the greatest irony is the lone legacy he tried to bring to Michigan but failed to land. That would be Glen Rice Jr., the son of the former Michigan star who now starts at guard for Georgia Tech.

Even without the Rices, a father-son exhibition game at Michigan would draw a lot of fans the next few years. Maybe the kids will improve with time, but right now the smart money would be on the elders.
