The deceased has been identified as Bradley Grinnen, a junior at Waynesburg University. According to the school’s newspaper Yellow Jacket, Grinnen was a defensive lineman on the football team and originally from Elwood City.
A vigil was held at 8:00 P.M. Sunday at Robert’s Chapel. Many were having a difficult time coming to terms with the loss.
“As of right now, I’m still in shock, I can’t really process it. Another friend messaged me this morning, told me about it, and I drove by his dorm and saw all the cop cars and ambulance,” teammate Hunter Palmer told KDKA’s Ralph Iannotti.
