ORIGINAL STORY

The GBI is helping with the investigation of a shooting on Fort Valley State University's campus.

GBI Special Agent in Charge Todd Crosby says the GBI responded at the request of FVSU police to help with a shooting investigation.

One man was shot and he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. He is in stable condition at this time.

According to a news release from the university, it happened in the Wildcat Common dorms around 1 a.m. Tuesday.

FVSU Police Chief Anita Allen says the injured senior was a commuter student who was playing video games with people in their third-floor dorm room when two men came in that he didn’t know.

She says the student described the shooting as an attempted armed robbery.

The suspects were in dark clothing with masks and hoods. They drove away from campus in a gray car.

FVSU says it immediately notified students with an electronic alert and locked down the campus. That lockdown was lifted around 5 a.m.

Crosby says he wants to clarify that this is not an active shooter situation, and the suspects have left campus. They’re still conducting the investigation
