It'll end up being some stupid little crap. It always is.
Something similar happened when I worked at Purdue. A student shot a student guidance counselor. I can't recall if he died or not, but something says no.
This incident was over being turned in to the police department for smoking pot in the dorms.
They shooter in this case thought the counselor had "ruined his life".
It's ALWAYS something stupid.
Mg, he died. Shotgun slug at muzzle contact.
I did the prosecution of the co-conspirator.

The shooter was from my neighborhood. Didn't know him or his family, though.
