Brother Dies at Shawnee State TKE House

Shawnee Student Dies at College Frat House

A student at Shawnee State University died this past weekend after what police said may have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house.

Travis Ralston, of Rome, Ohio, was a brother of the fraternity. The university president released a statement about the student's presumed suicide and the college has offered counseling for TKE brothers, students and friends of Ralston.

"We are in contact with the school and are letting the investigation go through the proper channels," said Tom McAninch, TKE spokesperson. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. The university has done a good job of giving students access to grief counseling."
