Johanna Justin-Jinich © APWesleyan University students can breathe a sigh of relief, because Stephen Morgan, the man accused of shooting student Johanna Justin-Jinich, has turned himself in to police.
A disguised Morgan allegedly walked into a campus bookstore on Wednesday and fatally shot Justin-Jinich, an ex-friend who had filed an aggravated harassment complaint against him. Then, after the deed was done, Morgan left the scene, but didn’t run.
The New York Times points out that Morgan, who was wearing a wig at the time of the shooting, meandered outside the crime scene and even gave his name and number to the police. It was hours later that police realized they had missed their man, who was by that time long gone. As the story unfolded, however, Morgan apparently had a change of heart and last night went to a convenience store, called the cops and was arrested. He is being held on $10 million bond.
His family has vowed to stand by his side, but may have been instrumental in his actions: His sister pleaded yesterday, "Turn yourself in right now to avoid any law-enforcement agency, wherever you are, to avoid any further bloodshed. We love you, we will support you in every way and we don’t want anyone else to get hurt.”
Morgan also reportedly had a journal in which he railed against Jewish people.
