Frightened Coeds Arm Themselves In Wake Of Campus Killings
In Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor two universities face a series of killings with five confirmed victims.

Dawn Basom, 13, was found dead on a rural road near Eastern Michigan University, with a cord around her throat and gashes on her chest. Authorities note a pattern of nearby bodies over the past months, and students report heightened fear and changes to campus routines.
