    • The four female students, two Spelman College students and two Clark Atlanta University students, are in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.

    • One of the young women posted to social media stating “I’m here, I’m alive. God got me. Y’all got me.”  She is thanking everyone for your prayers and is asking for help with her recovery via a GoFundMe which has already met half of it’s goal.

    Clark Atlanta released a statement stating:

    “One of our top priorities at CAU is the safety and security of our students. Here at Clark Atlanta University, and across the country, students have the right to gather together in celebration without the fear of violence. We will not stand for it in the Atlanta University Center. We are working diligently with Atlanta PD to identify those involved.”

    Spelman College and Morehouse College made similar statements about the incident and are providing counseling services while reminding students of steps to take in cases of emergency and the resources available to them.

    Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Investigators said there is a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
