Miami DE shot and killed

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=ap-miami-playerkilled&prov=ap&type=lgns

University of Miami defensive end Bryan Pata was shot and killed shortly after practice on Tuesday. Details have yet to be released. This is the second gun related incident with the U this year. Safety Willie Cooper was shot in the ass during an attempted robbery. Defensive captain and stomp expert Brandon Meriweather returned fire at the shooters in July. While this is obviously a tragedy, Miami needs a makeover.
