MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- Authorities have arrested the person suspected of shooting a student in a brawl at a Fairleigh Dickinson University dance.
The man was arrested Tuesday night, Capt. Paul Kalleberg, spokesman for the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, said Wednesday. He said the suspect's name and other information would be disclosed later.
Meanwhile, four other men arrested on weapons possession charges appeared at a hearing Tuesday, where their bails were continued at $50,000 each. Steven R. Wright, 20, of Jersey City; Syyid Y. Chester, 23, of Irvington; and Vaughan Anthony Floyd, 23, and Maurice A. Hunt-Davis, 22, both of Newark, were being held at the Morris County Jail.
The next hearing is scheduled for April 22.
Wright was charged with possession of a handgun without a carry permit, and possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose.
Chester, Floyd and Hunt-Davis were charged with possession of a different handgun without having a carry permit. Authorities said a Ruger P-94 semiautomatic pistol was found in a car the three were in as they attempted to leave the campus after the disturbance. That gun did not appear to have been fired, authorities said.
Of the four suspects, Floyd is a former student, said university spokesman Art Petrosemolo.
The dance, attended by about 400 people, was held as an after-party for attendees of a fashion show sponsored by a student group. Officials said the crowd was larger than expected.
Besides the shooting victim, six others were injured. Some had knife wounds, one was hit with a bottle and another was hit with a wooden bench, authorities said. None of the injuries was life-threatening.

Very nice ... a semiautomatic (for those who don't know, semiautomatics are the gun of choice amongst drug dealers), knives, broken bottles. classy gentlemen i might say.
A Jersey City man surrendered Tuesday night on charges of shooting a stranger at a weekend dance at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Florham Park -- the most serious of several violent acts that broke out when a hip-hop song was played, authorities said Wednesday.
After he allegedly shot Robert Brock-Murray once in the abdomen at 1:15 a.m. Sunday, Rasheed Cooper was in contact with detectives several times before he surrendered at Florham Park police headquarters, Morris County Prosecutor Michael M. Rubbinaccio said at a news conference Wednesday.
The prosecutor said police are investigating whether Cooper, a 25-year-old who also is known as Rasheed Reginald Campbell and Rashon West, is affiliated with or a member of the Bloods gang. While the shooting is not believed to be a gang-related act, witnesses told police that two groups of revelers obviously parted at the dance during the playing of a song by Lil Jon, a popular artist in the hip-hop movement known as "crunk." The lyrics of the song speak of representing one's neighborhood, Rubbinaccio said.
