Charleston Southern linebacker Florestal killed in shooting

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Charleston Southern linebacker Lorvens Florestal died in a shooting off campus Saturday night.

The Charleston Police Deparment said three people were shot in the incident and that Florestal was the only one killed.

The 19-year-old Florestal was from Delray Beach, Florida. He was a freshman walk-on who had yet to play a game for the Buccaneers.

Charleston Southern coach Autry Denson said in a statement that the team and school 'œshould never have to endure senseless acts of violence.'ť

Denson continued that Florestal's manner of death should not be 'œthe narrative of Lorvens' life.'ť
