SJ Man Shoots Woman, Kills Self

Cori Miller, a 21-year-old Temple junior from Baltimore, was shot once in the right eye and once in the chest about 7:55 a.m., Philadelphia police said. Miller, who talked to police after the shooting, has improved to serious but stable condition Sunday.
The alleged shooter, Shawn Walker, 21, of Mantua, N.J., had been seen walking with Miller as she reported to work about 6:30 a.m. Nothing seemed amiss, a school security official said.
Miller took her post checking badges in the lobby of Vivacqua Hall, a classroom and administrative building on North Broad Street. Walker apparently went to a nearby doughnut shop, then returned and shot her, police said.
Miller spoke to a campus police officer about 15 minutes before the shooting, and appeared to be in a good mood, said Carl Bittenbender, Temple's executive director of public safety.
"There was no indication of anything. And then we got the call," Bittenbender said.
Walker was last enrolled at Temple about a year ago, he said.
"They've had an on-again, off-again relationship for several years, apparently rocky," Bittenbender said.
Police do not think anyone witnessed the shooting, which was reported by a man who came upon the scene as he left the building.
