LOUISIANA: Two students of Indian-origin were shot dead inside an apartment at a university in the US state of Louisiana.
Authorities said on Friday that the men were likely slain during a home invasion.
The victims, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, both international Ph.D students at Louisiana State University, were found dead inside an apartment at the Edward Gay complex, police said.
The bodies were discovered after a call to campus police on Thursday night seeking medical attention.
No suspects had been identified. An emergency text message was sent to students registered for an emergency alert system, but not all students received it, the university said in a news release. The problem was being investigated.
Officials also sent out an e-mail, voice mail message and posted a message to the LSU website. Many campuses implemented such emergency alert measures following the mass shooting of 32 people at Virginia Tech earlier this year by a gunman who killed himself.
