A DRIVE-BY SHOOTING? At Central Arkansas University, the investigation of Sunday night's shootings continues.

Prosecutors charged four young men with two counts of capital murder each and a host of other felonies in connection with Sunday's attack. They also acknowledged a particularly disturbing aspect of shootings: The victims might not have been the targets of the gunmen.

"This is an incredibly heinous case," Prosecutor Marcus Vaden said at a news conference. "When you have a situation where it appears some, if not all, of the victims were innocent bystanders, that's bad."

The gunmen apparently had been on campus for several minutes before driving toward a group of students near the Arkansas Hall dormitory, campus police Lt. Preston Grumbles said. They fired at least eight rounds from a semiautomatic pistol at the group, he said. He declined to say whether multiple handguns were used.

Investigators declined to offer further details of the shootings or a motive.

The university's latest statement lists the charges brought against the suspects.

Two counts of Capital Murder
One count of Attempted Capital Murder
Eight counts of Terroristic Act
One count of Possession of Firearms by Certain Persons
One count of Discharge of a Firearm from Car
One count of Possession of Handgun on Public School Property

Those who attended were given candles and an opportunity to sign a banner dedicated to the University upon their arrival.

[Huskies United member Ryan] Sego said Huskies United would go to the University of Central Arkansas to dedicate the banner.

Brent Keller, president of the Student Association, offered his respects concerning both the victims of the University of Central Arkansas and the victims of Feb. 14 at NIU.

"We have gathered here to let the university know that they are not alone,” Keller said.
