"Homecoming Horror" One dead after Shooting at NC University
Winston Salem State University

A shooting during homecoming weekend at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, has left one person dead and another injured. Police say, 19-year-old Peyton Patterson, died at the scene after being shot around 9:45 PM. Patterson was said to not have been a student.

A 22-year-old woman identified as Alyssa Ellerbee, was wounded but later released from the hospital. Investigators say, the shooting stemmed from an argument between two groups of people. They've arrested 20-year-old Ziyaire Spinks, who is not a student at the university, either. Spinks is charged with murder and a weapons violation. He's being held without bond.

Also arrested and charged in connection to the shooting, is 19 year old Cequan Brower.

A second shooting happened on campus less than an hour later, injuring two men. Both are listed in stable condition. Circumstances surrounding the second shooting are still under investigation and no arrests have been made.

Police are still working to determine if the two incidents are connected. Classes at Winston Salem State are set to resume, Tuesday.
