The shooting took place in the parking lot of a residence hall on Piedmont around 9:30 Monday night.

Georgia State police recovered a gun and large amount of marijuana in the student's backpack.

"This is extremely concerning that we have a student that may have been engaged in the selling of drugs, with a firearm also,” Chief Carlton Mullis said.

Police said Rhoden lived in the dorm at Piedmont Avenue.

The two people in the car were not students.

There is a gate around the lot and security cameras, but anyone can just drive in.
