Freshman attacked in TN dorm room

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A freshman student was in critical condition Wednesday after she was attacked in a dorm room at Middle Tennessee State University, a university official said.


The 18-year-old woman was found unconscious in the suspect's dorm room after a male student placed an emergency call around midnight, said Bob Glenn, vice president for student affairs.

The suspect was taken into custody for questioning but had not yet been charged. He and the victim lived in the same dorm, though it wasn't immediately clear if they were acquainted.

The female student is listed in stable but critical condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Glenn said. The nature of her injuries was not immediately released.

The university is about 30 miles southeast of Nashville and enrolls about 22,500 students.

Both students' families were notified, and the university sent out an e-mail to faculty, staff and students.


Good thing noone had a concealed firearm on campus

The only way to get through to these people are by taking their money. I am not big on lawsuits, but think this female should sue the College, State, Gov., local PD, and local Sheriff. Start taking money out of their pockets and maybe, just maybe they will see that people need to have the right to defend themselves.

This female is not only a student, but lives in the Dorms, therefore it is the responsibility of the college and the local and state law enforcement to protect her, because she is stripped of her right to protect herself.
