Ohio Governor Pays Tribute To Student Shot At Frat

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's governor is paying tribute to a college student killed by gunfire at a fraternity house party.

Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) said in a statement Friday that Youngstown State University senior Jamail Johnson was a leader among his peers and his death is a loss for all of Ohio.

Kasich has ordered that flags fly at half-staff at the Ohio Statehouse and at state buildings in Youngstown and the surrounding county on Saturday, the day of Johnson's funeral. Also, the Omega Psi Phi fraternity is holding its own memorial.

A wake is being held Friday.

Eleven people were injured in the shooting early last Sunday. Two suspects are charged with aggravated murder, shooting into a house and felonious assault.
