University mourns slain student

Members of the university community were shocked and saddened at the death of UVic student Philbert Truong, who was shot and killed July 19 in downtown Victoria.

The shooting took place on View Street some time after the closing of the Red Jacket nightclub, where the 20-year-old third-year psychology student had been with friends earlier. Two other young men were also shot and later treated in hospital.

Victoria police arrested two men, aged 22 and 16, who have been charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
