   (CNN) -- Police arrested a suspect early Saturday in the fatal   
   shooting at South Carolina State University. Justin Bernard   
   Singleton, 19, was charged with Friday's murder of 20-year-old   
   student Brandon Robinson, according to a statement from the   
   South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.   
      
   The two were arguing, when Singleton pulled out a gun and fired   
   at Robinson, hitting him in the neck, police said.   
      
   After the shooting in Orangeburg County, police initially   
   started an manhunt for a total of four possible suspects.   
      
   "He was a very nice young man," university President Thomas   
   Elzey said of Robinson, fighting back tears in a brief statement   
   to reporters Friday. "And it hurts. It hurts us all."   
      
   Elzey said "we are pulling together as a community," announcing   
   that counselors would be made available to grieving students.   
      
   "Our first order of business is to make sure that our students   
   are safe," the school president said.   
      
   Campus police were called to the Andrew Hugine Suites Living and   
   Learning community about 1:30 p.m. and found the injured   
   student, the university said. Police said eyewitnesses   
   identified four suspects who had left the campus, the university   
   said.   
      
   The school was initially put on lockdown; those restrictions   
   were lifted a few hours later. Nonetheless, South Carolina   
   State's Facebook page still urged people to "remain cautious and   
   report any suspicious activity to police."   
      
   South Carolina State is a historically black university with   
   about 4,000 students, according to the school website. The   
   campus is about 40 miles south of Columbia.   
      
   CNN first learned about the incident via Twitter.   
      
   This is at least the third campus shooting this week.   
      
   On Tuesday, a gunman shot and killed another student inside   
   Purdue University's electrical engineering building. Police said   
   Cody Cousins, 23, an engineering student, killed Andrew Bolt,   
   21, of West Bend, Wisconsin. Cousins was charged with murder.   
      
   On Monday, a student was shot and critically injured near a gym   
   at Widener University near Philadelphia. Police were looking for   
   a suspect.   
      
   On Wednesday, the University of Oklahoma in Norman briefly shut   
   down after a report of a possible shooting that apparently   
   turned out to be a false alarm, the university's president said.
