DURHAM -- Three Duke University football players have been charged with felony possession and discharge of a weapon after early-morning gunshots were fired Sunday near a residence hall on the school’s East Campus, Duke officials said.
The three players -- John Drew, Kyle Griswould and Brandon Putnam -- were dismissed from the team following their arrest by campus police. All three freshmen were removed from campus and won’t be allowed to return to school until the resolution of the charges. No one was injured in the 3 a.m. incident.
“Obviously, we take this very seriously,” said Duke spokesman Michael Schoenfeld.
