Second teenager charged in shooting of Duquesne players

PITTSBURGH -- A second man charged in a shooting that wounded five Duquesne University basketball players turned himself in Wednesday, police said.

William Holmes, 18, of the Pittsburgh suburb of Penn Hills, was to be arraigned on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and weapons-related offenses.

Holmes is the third person arrested in Sunday's shooting after a dance at the private, Roman Catholic university. Two of the wounded players remained hospitalized.

The other 18-year-old accused of shooting the players, Brandon Baynes, was jailed Tuesday on similar charges. Neither of the teens is a Duquesne student.

Baynes and Holmes crashed a campus dance sponsored by the Black Student Union where they encountered the basketball players, according to police. They and two friends got into the dance with help from a student who is active with the union, police said.

The student, Brittany Jones, 19, was arrested Monday on charges of reckless endangerment, carrying a firearm without a license and criminal conspiracy. She was arraigned and posted bond Tuesday morning. On Wednesday, Duquesne announced she had been suspended for multiple violations of the student code.

The shootings took place shortly after the dance ended when, according to Associated Press interviews with two players, several non-students apparently became upset when Jones began flirting with one of the players.
