A University of South Carolina student was shot and killed as he apparently tried to enter the wrong home on his off-campus street early on Saturday, police said.

Nicholas Anthony Donofrio, 20, of Connecticut, was dead by the time police responded to reports of a home burglary and shooting, according to a Columbia Police Department news release. Officers found his body on a front porch around 2 a.m., and Donofrio had a gunshot wound to his upper body, the release said.

    Drunk students try end to up in the wrong house worryingly often actually. Anyone who’s live near off campus housing has had someone on their it their neighbor’s porch.

      Yeah, that’s my first assumption when a college student is coming home after midnight. Especially if something bad happens.
