BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Authorities lifted a lockdown at Florida Atlantic University on Wednesday after apprehending a suspect in an overnight campus shooting, officials said.
Two shots were fired shortly after 1 a.m. at a party in the student apartments on the Boca Raton campus, campus Police Chief Charles Lowe said.
One person who is not a student was slightly injured, but it was not clear if that person was hit by a bullet, officials said.
Exams were canceled and the school used a newly installed alert system to tell students to stay in their dormitories while authorities searched the campus Wednesday morning. Classes were to resume Thursday, officials said.
Hours after the shooting, Omar Everton Graham Jr. was taken into custody in North Miami on the campus of Johnson & Wales University, said FAU Deputy Chief Keith Totten.
Totten told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that Graham, 23, of Royal Palm Beach, was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on campus in connection with the shooting.
Johnson & Wales, a private career school, issued a statement saying Graham was a student there.
No one answered a call to a phone listed under the name Omar E. Graham.
Soon after the early morning shooting, students were notified of an emergency by sirens, mass e-mails and announcements over the school’s public address system and they were warned to remain indoors.
The alert system was installed just 60 days ago and had not been fully tested.
“It seemed to work,” said FAU President Frank Brogan.
Brogan said fewer people were on campus than usual because it is FAU’s finals week.
Guns are not permitted at FAU.

Dmitri Nabokov, son of Vladimir Nabokov, has decided to publish his father’s last work, The Original of Laura, despite his father’s dying wish that the manuscripts be destroyed.
What the commentators said
This has certainly been a “most tortuous dilemma” for Dmitri Nabokov, said Kate Connolly in a Guardian blog. “If he fails to carry out his father’s last will, Dmitri is effectively betraying him, but carry it out and the world loses forever what is potentially a precious gift from the grave from one of the greatest 20th-century novelists.” But one thing’s for sure: “Publication of The Original of Laura is sure to satisfy much curiosity.”
Dmitri’s decision to publish the book means that he “is a bad son AND Vladimir was a terrible father for putting his boy in this position,” said Gawker. And “if this last book turns out to be awful, Nabokov scholars will dismiss it as something he never wanted printed anyway. We all win. Except Dmitri.”
“I’d rather have more Nabokov than less in the world,” said Gregory Cowles in The New York Times blog Paper Cuts. If Vladimir Nabokov’s last work “doesn’t live up to his gratifyingly perfectionist standards—well, it arrives with bucketloads of context, and if nothing else it will give scholars another decoder ring to evaluate the cryptic Nabokovian oeuvre.”
The whole thing seems kind of fishy, said the blog The Literary Saloon. “We always equate heirs publishing posthumous work with a desperate attempt to cash in—is that what The Original of Laura has been reduced to, too?”

KINGSTON, R.I. - Senior Zach Zaneski (Waterford, Conn.) recorded two hits, two runs and two RBI as the Rhode Island baseball team took down Connecticut, 9-4, Wednesday afternoon at Bill Beck Field. The win extends the Rams unbeaten streak to 11 games, dating back to an April 9th loss at UConn. Since then, Rhody has outscored its opponents by an 83-49 margin.
The Rams jumped out to an early lead on a four-hit, four-run first inning off of Connecticut starter Elliott Glynn. Sophomores Zoey Angulo (Miami, Fla.) and Oliver Palmer (North Kingstown, R.I.) led off with back-to-back singles up the middle before Zaneski’s RBI single scored Angulo to give the Rams a 1-0 lead. A double steal then moved Palmer and Zaneski to third and second, respectively, before a bad throw by UConn catcher Brad Olt allowed Palmer to cross the plate and Zaneski to take third safely. Senior Mike O’Malley (Nashua, N.H.) scored the Rams’ fourth and final run of the inning on a sacrifice fly by classmate Shaun Hagey (Ephrata, Pa.) after reaching on a double to left center and taking third on sophomore Rob Deveney’s (Marlton, N.J.) sac bunt.
UConn got a run back in the top of the third but Hagey put the Rams back up by four in the bottom of the inning, scoring on a single up the middle by junior Dan Rhault (Lincoln, R.I.), who has now hit safely in the last 13 games.
Trailing 5-1 after four complete innings, the Huskies cut URI’s lead to one with a three-run fifth that saw an RBI single by Mike Nemeth and a two-run double by Peter Fatse.
Solid pitching from the Rhody bullpen limited UConn to just three hits the rest of the way and kept Huskies off the scoreboard through the final four innings.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
•Is it just me, or have you overdosed on Red Sox-Yankees for a while?
Too much of a good thing inevitably becomes just too much, like eating five hot fudge sundaes when one would have been fine and dandy.
Maybe it’s the fact that it’s still April, and it all seems to have come too soon. Maybe it’s because the games are interminable, a journey that never seems to end, and there’s nothing I want to do for four hours, never mind watch a baseball game. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s like a movie we’ve seen too many times before.
Whatever it is, it all seems too much, at least for now.
The Red Sox-Yankees is great theater, as good as there is in all of sports.
But right now it seems cheapened.
•Kudos to both PC athletic director Bob Driscoll and the Rev. Brian Shanley for finding what seems to be an excellent choice for their new basketball coach, a search that wasn’t easy.
•Although if new coach Keno Davis was a native Rhode Islander, he probably would have been named Casino Davis.
•And would be doing ads for Twin River.
•Mike Mussina against Manny Ramirez is such a mismatch the baseball gods shouldn’t allow it.
•What crumbles first, Yankee Stadium or the Yankees?
•Quiz of the Week: How many guys who played college basketball in Rhode Island also played for the Celtics? (Answer near the end of the column.)
•Line of the Week comes from PC’s Father Shanley on the hiring of Keno Davis: “He’s the answer to our prayers.”
•Stop-Loss is a powerful, unsettling film about Iraq that deserves a wider audience.
•You know it’s not your grandfather’s NHL anymore when the Bruins have 15 Canadians on their roster and the Montreal Canadiens have 11.

PALOS VERDES, Calif. — Washington freshman Anya Alvarez shot a final-round, 4-over par 75 on Wednesday to finish 14th in the Pac-10 women’s championships, the top performance by a UW or Washington State golfer.
The Cougars finished eighth and the Huskies ninth in the 54-hole tournament at the par-71, 6,060-yard Palos Verdes Golf Club.
Paola Moreno shot 70-75-67 — 212, one under par, to claim medalist honors and lead USC to an easy team championship. Five USC golfers were in the top eight. UCLA was a distant second, 26 strokes back.
Alvarez finished with a 34-over 318. Amy Eneroth was the top WSU finisher, tying for 22nd with a group that included Christina Yoon of UW.
• Howard Wilder, who played on Western Washington’s first conference-championship football team in 1923, has died at age 104. The school was known as Bellingham State Normal School, and the Vikings’ nickname had just been adopted when Wilder played there.
• Eastern Washington finished third, three shots behind champion Portland State, in the 54-hole Big Sky Conference women’s golf championships at The Foothills Golf Club in Phoenix. Chloe Nelson placed fifth for EWU at 77-76-74 — 227. She finished the season with the lowest average round (76.56) in school history. Eastern freshmen Kellie Holmstedt (228) and Kristina Gargaro (230) also finished in the top 10.

NEW ORLEANS — Kierstyn Cyrus cracked open the front door of her ruined home, a single goal in mind, just one precious thing she wanted to rescue. It was October 2005, the first time since Hurricane Katrina that she had stepped inside the brick ranch at 2455 Deslonde Street in the Lower Ninth Ward. The morning before a levee burst four blocks away, Kierstyn, her mother and grandmother had fled 250 miles inland.
On this mockingly sunlit afternoon, as Kierstyn entered the house, she spotted a kitchen chair perched atop the roof. Inside, the refrigerator lay sideways across the living room. In Kierstyn’s bedroom, her Tweety Bird doll was wedged amid the rafters, where the flood waters had pressed it, and all her church dresses were gone from the closet, swept away.
“Mom, where’s my book?” Kierstyn called out to her mother, Melanie. “Where’s my portfolio?”
Ms. Cyrus was standing outside, doctor’s orders. She was in the middle of chemotherapy for breast cancer, and she had been warned not to expose herself to the filth, germs and mold in the house. But she knew which book Kierstyn meant, and she shouted back to look under the radio on the bedroom dresser.
Kierstyn was searching for a loose-leaf binder, filled with every award and honor from her academic career. Her mother, a teacher, had begun keeping the book when Kierstyn was in Rock-a-Bye nursery school and continued all the way to the eighth-grade year interrupted by the hurricane.
The pages held all of Kierstyn’s report cards, the honor-roll ribbons, the snapshots of classmates, the certificate good for a free meal at Shoney’s in recognition of high marks. Ms. Cyrus and Kierstyn had put every page in a plastic sleeve, as if smudged fingers or spilled coffee were all the book had to be guarded against.

The Tuesday Leg Lock Report 04.01.08
My thoughts on Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Le and the huge main event, WAMMA, Fedor’s negotiations with EliteXC, Frank Shamrock’s comments about his brother, Tim Sylvia’s new contract, EliteXC CBS event and much more! Come here and read the first ever edition of The Tuesday Leg Lock report!
Hello and welcome to the first ever edition of “The Tuesday Leg Lock Report”. My name is Justin Thomas and I am YOUR new Tuesday MMA news reporter. I’ll try to provide a unique opinion about happenings in the world of Mixed Martial Arts. I watch almost all of the UFC events, but I’m a big fan of Japanese MMA. I love watching PRIDE events and hopefully I will provide you with previews and analysis of DREAM events. My column won’t be that much different from others, here in 411mania, but I’ll try not to steal their thoughts and don’t analyze the same news. For now, I plan to have these sections: “The Big news”, “Other news”, “Event preview/analysis” and “Readers thoughts”. In “The Big news” section, I’ll try to write about news, which I have something to say about. Let’s say that “FEDOR SIGNED WITH THE UFC
