Woman, 18, dies after being shot at Delaware State University; campus closed – Times of India
Police said an 18-year-old Wilmington woman who was not a registered student was found with a gunshot wound to the upper body near Warren-Franklin Hall, which the university describes as a freshman dorm.
The victim was provided aid and rushed to Bayhealth Kent Campus, where she was pronounced dead, police said. Her name wasn’t immediately released pending notification of her family. No other injuries were reported and no description of a suspect was immediately available.
A university statement provided by police said the campus was closed Sunday with no visitation permitted, all events canceled and police patrols increased.
Delaware State University said counseling services would be available in the Tubman Laws Hall housing office and said it would “continue to take all necessary actions to ensure the health and well-being of our campus community.”
Dover police and Delaware State University police are investigating the case, which was classified as a homicide, police said.

It’s not much, but Delaware has first measurable snowfall. Dangerously cold air moves in
How to safely shovel snow
The Mayo Clinic has some tips for safely shoveling snow.
Saturday is the winter solstice, and parts of Delaware have already had a small, but still measurable, amount of snowfall.
For the first time since Feb. 17, 2024, measurable snowfall was reported in Delaware to the National Weather Service. Community reports of 0.1 inches of snow outside of Newark and in Smyrna are on the board after a storm brought rain and snow to the First State. That is the smallest amount of snowfall that can be recorded.
Wilmington last received measurable snowfall on that February date, but received only a trace Friday night. Parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey saw more than 5 inches from the same system.
Winter starts with cold snap
The storm ushered in dangerously cold air that will grip the Northeast for the weekend.
The temperatures are not so extreme that advisories will be issued, but it is not a good idea to stay outside for very long, said National Weather Service meteorologist Amanda Lee in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
On the night of Dec. 21, temperatures will dip, according to the weather service:
- 17 degrees in Wilmington
- 16 degrees in Dover
- 17 degrees in Georgetown
The overnight of Dec. 22 will be chillier, with temperatures dipping past the teens and wind chills in the single digits. It could plunge to:
- 10 degrees in Wilmington
- 10 degrees in Dover
- 9 degrees in Georgetown
