The university also delayed the start of classes and brought in grief counselors Friday.

The shooting prompted a lockdown Thursday night at the college.

University police and the GBI are handing the case.

“The safety of those who live, study, work and visit Savannah State University remains a top priority – no exceptions,” the college said Friday. “Savannah State University has zero tolerance for violence of any kind.”
