2 Ph.D Students Killed on LSU Campus*

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Two students were found shot to death inside an
apartment at Louisiana State University, and authorities said Friday the
men were likely slain during a home invasion.
The victims, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, both
international Ph.D. students at LSU, were found inside an apartment at
the Edward Gay complex, police said. They were discovered after a call
to campus police around 10:30 p.m. Thursday night seeking medical attention.
No suspects had been identified.
The shootings happened as students were wrapping up final exams. The
apartments where the two victims lived are located on the edge of
campus, and are designated for graduate and married students.
Campus officials were urging students to be cautious traveling to and
from the campus Friday. An emergency text message was sent to students
registered for an emergency alert system, but not all students received
it, the university said in a news release. The problem was being
investigated.
Officials also sent out an e-mail, voice mail message and posted a
message to the LSU Web site. Many campuses implemented such emergency
alert measures following the shootings at Virginia Tech earlier this year.
