The C-L is reporting JSU Police Chief Coleman said Smith was a former student and the shooting did not occur on campus. http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080422/NEWS/80422015

Ah, then it sucks that it was reported that way, but typical. (Although if JSU officials said it, the outlets have an excuse). I will correct the headline above.
