A 22-year-old Wesleyan student named Johanna Justin-Jinich was shot dead by Stephen Morgan, a man said to be her ex-boyfriend.

Police and witnesses say a man dressed in a wig walked into the University’s Red and Black Cafe around one o’clock PM yesterday, approached Justin-Jinich and shot her five times in the head. Justin-Jinich, who hailed from Colorado, died at a local hospital a few hours later, according to New York Daily News.

Students are advised to stay inside and remain "vigilant" until Morgan, 29, can be apprehended for questioning.

Justin-Jinich was originally from Fort Collins, CO, and graduated in 2006 from a Quaker school in Pennsylvania, Colorado’s 9 News reports. She was meant to graduate from the Connecticut-based Wesleyan next year.

Oh, dear, here we go again. Sometimes I just want to lock my daughter in her room and not let her out of my sight…ever.

I wish I could lock my children up and keep them safe, also! This hits far too close to home for me… I’ve known this wonderful family for 25 years and I’m in total disbelief. What is wrong with this world?!?!

When I first read about it I just couldn’t believe it. A student book store is suppose to be a save place. Now if it happen at a night club I wouldn’t be in such a shock. How are we supposed to keep places safe or find a safe place? This poor girl. My sympathy goes out to her family.
