Two Ohio men have been busted in the shooting death of a 25-year-old student at a Youngstown State University fraternity house. The gunmen opened fire at an early morning party in a clash that also injured 11, including 6 students, said police. One of the injured is in critical condition, reports Fox 8 TV. Investigators are still seeking a motive, but said the two young gunmen had left the party following an argument with someone, then returned and opened fire on partiers on a back patio.

Police are boosting patrols on campus. "This is a day every university president dreads," said YSU president Cynthia Anderson. "I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family of the student who died in this tragic violence." (More shooting death stories.)
