Binghamton Campus Grieves for Slain Professor
One after another, students and faculty members at Binghamton University trickled out of a classroom lab that had been converted, for convenience and tragic necessity, into a grieving room for the day.
Meanwhile, a clearer picture began to emerge of the mind-set of the suspect, Abdulsalam S. al-Zahrani, in the hours and days before the killing. According to classmates and a professor, he was distressed about not getting financial aid, and was trying to figure out how to finance his dissertation fieldwork in Detroit.
