U of M student shot near residence hall

A first year student of the University of Minnesota was shot around 11 Monday night in front of Centennial Hall.  The shooting is suspected to be associated with two other crimes that happened on campus around the same time Monday night.  According to The Minesota Daily the student who was attacked, Timothy Schumacher was rushed to Hennepin County Medical Center shortly after the incident and underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.  The student was confronted by two suspects who were armed and attacked the victim.

The victim did not provoke the two suspects and was unarmed.  So far no one has been arrested and the University is hoping that they can use security cameras around the attacks to identify the suspects involved in the three crimes.

The other crimes that took place was a robbery of a female student on Huron Blvd. about five blocks east of the shooting and another robbery about a block west of the shooting of two female students.  The other victims lost their possessions, but escaped unharmed.
