New details have emerged in yesterday's daylight shooting outside of Harvard's Kirkland House dorm. The victim is reportedly not a Harvard student, and police believe that he was "targeted" by his assailants.

-- Authorities say that a "college aged" man was shot in the gut outside Harvard's Kirkland House dorm around five o'clock this afternoon. Harvard administrators quickly claimed that no Kirkland House resident was involved in the shooting, but they have yet to rule out whether the victim or the shooter were Harvard students. The victim is in stable condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and no arrests have been announced. Critics of Harvard's proposed reduction in late night shuttle service were quick to link the incident to their complaints, but, presumably, a late night shuttle can do little to keep you from being shot in the gut in broad daylight.
