Jasmine Lynn, a Spelman College sophomore was shot and killed early this morning on the campus of Clark-Atlanta University. An unidentified Clark-Atlanta student was wounded during the shooting. According to Atlanta Police, Ms. Lynn, who hails from Kansas City, Mo., was shot after gunfire broke out during a fight in the 200 block of James P. Brawley Drive. She was walking with a group of friends back to the Spelman campus when they passed by the fight. "One of the friends actually heard the gunshots, actually saw the weapon and told her to get on the ground," said Lt. Keith Meadows of the Atlanta Police Department. "Before she was able to get on the ground she was struck in the chest by a stray round." Bystanders rushed to help Lynn.

Two people were arrested at the scene, but police did not reveal the charges against them. It is a real shame that here's a young lady who is trying to better herself by getting an education and some armed thug bent on inflicting violence kills her. This is reprehensible and I hope the police has apprehended the vile POS. According to According to Jasmine Lynn’s My Space page, she was majoring in psychology and minoring in business. She was a 2008 graduate of Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Kansas City. A promising life cut short by a heinous crime.
