A Greensboro man has been charged with the shooting of a Raleigh man inside a dorm room at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Saturday afternoon.

Brian Patrick Martin, 19, of 20 Holly Springs Lane was charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a firearm, possession of a weapon on campus, and the discharge of a firearm on campus. He was being held under $300,000 bond.

Police said Martin entered the room in Weil Residence Hall shortly before 5 p.m. and shot UNCG freshman Stephen Cobb in the lower back.

According to police, Cobb was admitted to Moses Cone Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. His condition was unknown early Sunday afternoon.

UNCG police arrested two suspects, including Martin, after they were subdued by other Weil residents. Police said they are seeking a third man for questioning.

I think posession and firing a weapon on campus hold more that attempted murder. I see the $300,000 is more than alot of worse crimes. He deserves it, lock his smug self up.

He does look like Todd Bridges...

Another teen screwing up his life for what...a few bucks? How very very sad.

what was the motive behind all of this
