Court documents unsealed are shedding new light on last week's shooting at Delaware State University that injured two students from D.C. According to a police affidavit, the 18-year-old freshman accused of the shooting admitted firing a gun and promised to stay out of trouble if he got away with it.

A witness told police that Loyer Braden, of New Jersey, showed up at an apartment after he had been questioned as a person of interest in the shooting and was "visibly shaking."
