The Duquesne players being shot is what I am commenting on. I think it is a shame what has happened to them seeing how they just went out to a party. It also makes it bad because all the players are transfer students and just started at the school. I think it???s sad that 3 of the players are still in the hospital. It seems like the two players will come through and hopefully the one in critical will come through too after the swelling.

All I can say is I hope all goes well with the players and so far it is progressing. The rest of the school and team should come together and just be there for the players as much as they can. I wish the best to the families also seeing how I know this is a very hard time for them. I hope the players will be able to come back and play again but most importantly come back healthy for life.

I???m commenting on this topic because I feel it???s a very serious issue. The 5 boys were just out enjoying a night and they had to run into problems. No matter what kind of disturbing they were doing to another person a shooting is not the answer. Students around Duquesne are more than likely going to be afraid to do some of the things they enjoyed doing before this occurred. I???m sure myself along with everyone else is just wanting the boys to be ok. This is going to be a hard recovery. Everyone needs to keep these boys in there prayers.

The shooting involving 5 Duquesne basketball players was shocking news to me. I am a former student and member of the men's basketball program at Duquesne and to hear that a few of my old teammates were shot left me in disbelief. It is a few years later, but I still can recall hearing about the incident on the news. I am glad that today, everyone has recovered from that horrible night.

I want to point out that Duquesne has one of the safest campuses in the country. Even though the campus is located in a bad area of downtown Pittsburgh, campus police and Pittsburgh police are constantly on patrol. In my two years at Duquesne, I never felt one bit unsafe due to the location of the campus.

I hope that in the future, other schools will put an emphasis on security for campus events. You can never predict what might happen, but if there is visible security/police, those that want to cause trouble may re-think their decision.
