Delta Chi Confirms Members Were Involved In Fatal Shooting At Northern Arizona University
Delta Chi international headquarters have confirmed that members of its Northern Arizona University chapter were involved in a shooting earlier this morning that killed one person and wounded three others. According to police, shortly after 1 a.m. this morning, two separate student groups got into a confrontation in a parking lot outside Mountain View Hall dormitory. It turned physical, and 18-year-old freshman Steven Jones pulled out and used a handgun on four students. Jones was taken into custody by authorities without conflict.
Names of the victims have yet to be released by school officials, but it seems evident they were connected with Delta Chi.
My closest friends are members of the Delta Chi fraternity @NAU Praying for my lumberjack family ❤️

It is with great sadness that we have learned of a shooting involving members of Delta Chi at NAU. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Back in 2011, the NAU Delta Chi house was peppered by a drive-by shooting, but with no injuries. The Arizona Daily Star has also reported that “two other recent firearm-related assaults at the fraternity are also believed to be connected to drug sales there.”
Regardless of what may or may not have been the motive behind this mornings shooting, our thoughts are with Delta Chi and the NAU community..

10 years ago at 12:48 pmCome on, man
10 years ago at 12:50 pmNot even remotely funny
10 years ago at 1:04 pmIt’s Northern Arizona University (NAU). Agree with the sentiments, but wrong acronym.
10 years ago at 4:27 pmWhatever
10 years ago at 10:00 pmPraying for you brothers. ITB
10 years ago at 9:48 amIt is a sad day when people these days result to the decision to pulling out a weapon that kills/wounds people when it was obviously not necessary. We don’t have the full story yet, but In a situation where just walking away would’ve ended this. People these days just don’t know when to call it enough.
10 years ago at 9:50 amAs you said we don’t know all the details but I wouldn’t be surprised if the shooter was on some sort of drug
10 years ago at 10:13 amI wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot more to the story
10 years ago at 10:54 amI wouldn’t be surprised if some news outlets reported opinions as fact.
10 years ago at 1:46 pmSad to hear this. ITB brothers stay strong
10 years ago at 10:29 amPrayers to UNA, but this further reinforces the idea that we need law abiding citizens with guns that will put a stop to the evil that keeps happening here.
10 years ago at 10:35 amCome on, man.
10 years ago at 12:24 pmLeave gun laws out of this bullshit for once. This isn’t the actions of a person in their right mind. Stupid people will be stupid no matter what stands in their way.
10 years ago at 1:47 pmMy bad I should’ve read the article and known that wasn’t the time before I commented. Laps taken.
10 years ago at 10:42 pmPrayers out to the brothers. ITB
10 years ago at 10:37 amAnd does anyone from the media care about these gentlemen from Delta Chi? No, but God forbid if these were minority students involved…
10 years ago at 10:38 amI agree with the media focus, but let’s not self victimize and take away from the real focus of caring about the people affected by this. I know it wasn’t your intention. But this isn’t about minorities right now.
10 years ago at 11:12 amThe media could care less what the victims look like, as long as they have the “school shooter” narrative, they are happy. This wasn’t even some premeditated violence, just drunk kids who were fighting and one had a gun and felt threatened. Heard the kid actually waited for the cops to arrive after the fact.
10 years ago at 12:22 pmYou have got to be kidding me. Not an hour after the shooting you spout off this nonsense? Media coverage is always centered around the shooter. And FYI when you posted this names of the victims weren’t even released. You assumed that they weren’t a minority just because they were Greek. You are just as bad as the race baiters on MSNBC. So you spout off this racist rhetoric after a tragedy for upvotes on TFM? That is just disgusting.

10 years ago at 12:16 amI’m quite fed up with seeing this type of shit in the news. It’s become a damn annual thing! Not a single person should have to endure something so fucking outrageous as a school shooting. We need change, and now.
10 years ago at 10:54 amtoday it’s statstically plausible that there will be a shooting every three weeks. something is going on here and it scares and troubles me deeply.
10 years ago at 10:58 amThis isn’t a “school shooting” like that in Oregon – it’s a murder that occurred on campus.
10 years ago at 11:13 amAs a member of the Greek community at NAU, I can say everyone has a very heavy heart today. Many of my brothers, myself included, have friends in the DChi chapter here. We are all looking into how we can offer our support.
10 years ago at 10:58 amBeing drunk with a gun never leads to anything good. Prayers for UNA
