Memphis' campus closed after lineman shot to death

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A University of Memphis football player was fatally shot on campus in a targeted attack and classes were canceled Monday as a precaution, officials said.

Bradford, a 5-foot-11, 300-pound defensive lineman from Nashville, was a junior who transferred to Memphis after two seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala.

According to multiple reports, Bradford was shot near the Carpenter Complex, a student housing facility across from the campus. Memphis coach Tommy West, as well as dozens of players, arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting, WVLT said.

"We found him with a bullet wound to the body and the ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced [dead]," said Roger Prewitt, a Memphis Police inspector.

University police declined to release the name of the student, but the incident "may have involved a current or former football player," said Bob Winn, associate athletic director at University of Memphis.
