Man shot near Harvard dorm dies; no arrests made

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A Salem State College student has died after he was found shot at a Harvard University dormitory.

The man, identified as Justin Cosby, 21, of Cambridge died early Tuesday at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston.

He was shot Monday in the abdomen in a stairwell inside an annex to Kirkland House, an undergraduate dorm.

In a statement, the school said the shooting appeared to be "isolated."
