Huntsville police have arrested a second man in connection with a shooting on the campus of Alabama A&M University last week.
On Friday, Christopher Thomas, 20, was booked into the Madison County Jail around 10 p.m. on an assault charge, according to Huntsville police. Thomas was arrested after his discharge from the hospital.
Last Wednesday, Willie Brandon Nance, 23, was also arrested on an assault charge.
Police say the two were involved in a shooting Tuesday afternoon at about 5:40 p.m. outside the Knight Complex at 4900 Meridian Street. The shooting was termed as an isolated incident stemming from an altercation between two people.
The Knight Complex is a five-story suite-style residence hall, where approximately 800 male and female undergraduate students live.
In a letter to the university community, Alabama A&M President Daniel K. Wims thanked students “who displayed an incredible amount of patience and vigilance during an evolving emergency situation.”
