Central Michigan quarterback John Keller is in serious condition in hospital after he was shot at a party on Saturday night.
According to local police a fight broke out at the party near the university’s Mount Pleasant campus before someone went to a car to retrieve a weapon and started firing. CMU president Dr Bob Davies said another of the university’s students, Tyler Bunting, was also shot and is in a stable condition.
“Local law enforcement, led by the Isabella County Sheriff, continues to investigate the incident and is searching for the suspect or suspects involved,” Davies said.
Twenty-year-old Keller sat out the 2020 season after transferring from Cincinnati. Bunting was majoring in psychology and minoring in marketing.
“I and many other CMU staff have personally reached out to each of the students and their families to offer support,” said Davies. “We are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers. Please join me in hoping for a speedy recovery for both individuals.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist with Keller’s medical expenses.
