Cody Cousins Named As Suspect In Purdue Shooting
Purdue Police have released the names of the victim and the suspect in
Tuesday's fatal shooting on the University's campus.
ABC News reports that Andrew Boldt, 21 was shot and killed by Cody Cousins,
23, according to police.
Earlier from the Associated Press:
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) -- A man opened fire Tuesday inside a basement
classroom at Purdue University, killing one person and prompting officials
to send a text alert to students telling them to seek shelter, police and
the university said.
The suspect, who is believed to have targeted the man who was shot,
surrendered to a police officer within minutes of the attack at the
Electrical Engineering Building, Purdue Police Chief John Cox said.
Students described a chaotic scene as the initial report of the shooting
hit around noon on the campus in West Lafayette, about 60 miles northwest
of Indianapolis.
"It was scary," said Julissa Martinez, a freshman nursing student from
Portage. She was in psychology class on another part of the 40,000-student
campus when she received the text message saying the university was on
lockdown.
She said her professor briefly kept teaching, then stopped lecturing so
that students could contact people to let them know they were safe.
"He tried to get everything under control because people were freaking
out," she said, adding that students were nervous because there was a lot of
speculation about the severity of the situation.
The identities of the suspect and victim were not immediately confirmed.
Cox said the suspect entered the Electrical Engineering Building, "took the
actions that he took" and "immediately left the facility without any other
interaction that we're aware of."
Cox said the suspect wasn't immediately cooperating with investigators.
He said some people witnessed the shooting, but he didn't specify whether
the attack happened during a class.
Shortly after 12:03 p.m. when the shooting was reported, Purdue
officials issued a text alert telling those on the campus to seek shelter.
Around 1:15 p.m., the university said there was no ongoing threat on campus
and allowed normal operations to resume in all buildings except the
engineering facility.
Purdue officials considered the campus to be secure, said Purdue Provost
Tim Sands, who in June will become president of Virginia Tech, where an
April 2007 campus massacre left 33 dead.
By mid-afternoon Tuesday, Sands was encouraging students to go about
their normal activities around campus, except for the Electrical Engineering
Building.
But the university later announced that classes were being suspended
through Wednesday. A candlelight vigil was planned for Tuesday night, with
special counseling services being offered to students at several sites
around campus.
Kayla Brown, a 23-year-old senior from Marion, said she was still
worried even after university officials lifted the campus warning.
"I was wary to go to class but I did anyway," she said. "I didn't quite
feel they could have had it all clear in that period of time."
Cox, the campus police chief, said authorities responded aggressively
after the shooting was reported, with about 20 campus and city police
officers at the building within minutes.
Sands said the university will offer assistance to those who need it as
the circumstances of the shooting are sorted out.
"We'll provide whatever services we can to assist our students, our
faculty and our staff in coming back to a sense of normality," he said.

Davies in Indianapolis contributed to this report.
