ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Authorities say they've made an arrest in the shooting of a 22-year-old University of Georgia student at a bus stop near the campus.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said early Tuesday that a news conference is planned at 10 a.m. to discuss the arrest of a suspect in Monday's shooting.
The shooting victim's high school identified him as Tate Prezzano, a lacrosse player from Atlanta's northern suburbs.
Police had been searching for a suspect after Prezzano was severely wounded. Athens-Clarke County police say officers found him on the ground, shot multiple times. They said Monday that he was in critical but stable condition.
Athens-Clarke County Police Chief Cleveland Spruill said investigators believe the gunman had just robbed another man nearby, and then tried to rob Prezzano around the corner on South Milledge Avenue.
