The University of Connecticut senior is accused of killing 62-year-old Ted DeMers and 23-year-old Nicholas Eisele, a former classmate. He is also believed to have severely injured another elderly man.
“The horrific and incomprehensible loss of life is reminiscent of so many other tragedies at so many other places around the country and the world,” University of Connecticut President Tom Katsouleas said in a statement. “Though rare, we have been sadly reminded that none are immune from such random acts, and that they don’t always happen somewhere else.”
Manfredonia was arrested late Wednesday night in Hagerstown, Maryland after authorities believed he traveled to there from Pennsylvania in an Uber.
