Washburn DB killed, Giants pick hurt in shooting
A Washburn University defensive back was killed in a shooting Sunday morning in Topeka, Kansas, that also injured teammate Corey Ballentine, who was drafted by the New York Giants on Saturday.
Washburn president Jerry Farley confirmed that Dwane Simmons, 23, was killed in the shooting in a letter to the school Sunday. Ballentine is expected to make a full recovery, Farley wrote.
"Any time we lose a student it is a sad occasion, but it is particularly poignant to lose a student through such a senseless act," Farley wrote. "Both Dwane and Corey have been great examples and representatives of the football team and of Washburn University in general. This was a terrible way to end a day which should have been a day of celebration and a day to look forward to Dwane's upcoming year at Washburn and the beginning of Corey's professional career."
According to police, Ballentine was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Simmons, a defensive back who was entering his senior season in 2019, had played in 22 games over three seasons at Washburn.
