MIDDLETOWN, Conn. -- A man suspected of shooting a Wesleyan University student at point-blank range inside a campus bookstore has been taken into police custody and is scheduled to be arraigned Friday morning, police said.

Police said 29-year-old Stephen Morgan turned himself in to police in Meriden Thursday night, the day after the shooting that left 21-year-old university junior Johanna Justin-Jinich dead.

Wesleyan Shooting Suspect Turns Self In To Police

Middletown police were called to pick up Morgan in Meriden just after 9 p.m. after they received a call from Cumberland Farms on Old Colony Road.

Sonia Rodriguez, a clerk at the store, said Morgan entered the store, bought a drink and a paper, and asked to use the phone. She said he tried to dial, but was unable, so she had to help him call police.

Rodriguez told Eyewitness News that she didn't know who Morgan was when he asked for her help. She said he was dirty and she thought his car had broken down.

Police said Morgan, a former Navy Sailor, had no identification on him when he was taken into custody, but that he gave police the correct Social Security number.

Morgan was scheduled to be arraigned on a $10 million bond on Friday morning.

In a statement following Morgan's apprehension, Wesleyan President Michael Roth said, "We have received confirmation from the Middletown Police Department that Stephen Morgan, the suspect in the recent shooting at the Red and Black Café, has been apprehended. The Wesleyan community is grateful for the work of the law enforcement agencies involved in this process. We are all breathing a little easier with this news.

"Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Johanna and hope that this latest development brings them some measure of comfort," he said in the statement. "Wesleyan will resume normal operations, as originally planned on Friday, May 8th. The vigil will take place as scheduled at 1 pm in the Huss Courtyard of the Usdan University Center."

Morgan had been the subject of a national APB after police said he entered Broad Street Bookstore, where Justin-Jinich worked, wearing a wig. They said he opened fire, shooting her multiple times. Police said Morgan then left the bookstore and blended in with the gathering crowd outside, where he was questioned by police who were then unaware of his alleged involvement.

Police reported that they didn't realize until they spoke to the victim's family that Morgan was the person for whom they should be looking.

Police said they believe Morgan then called a cab from outside the bookstore.

Jawad Anwar, a manager at Executive 2000 Taxi in Cromwell, said a man matching Morgan's description was picked up at the Wesleyan campus Wednesday afternoon.

"He called at 2:08 and was picked up at 2:30," Anwar said.

The manager said the man, who said his name was Nick, was brought to the New Haven train station.

Connecticut police obtained a warrant Wednesday night to search the room at the Middlefield motel they believe Morgan had been staying in.

Among the items police found that belonged to Morgan was his journal. In it, they said, he wrote that he hoped to make Wesleyan "the Jewish Columbine."

But police said the gunman's original plan may have been foiled. They said the information they found indicated he planned to take off his disguise and leave in a car parked out back, but that police arrived sooner than expected.

Middletown Police Lt. Margaret Liseo said, "A $10 million court-set bond has been set for the accused, with nationwide extradition."

She said the bond was set before Morgan was found because it's easier to get the paperwork out of the way.

Victim Had Filed Complaint Against Morgan

Sources at Wesleyan said that Wednesday was Justin-Jinich's day off, but that she had switched her schedule. They said the gunman may have just been waiting for the right time.

Police said Morgan met Justin-Jinich two years ago when both participated in a six-week summer course at New York University.

NYU Spokesman John Beckman said that during her time at the university, Justin-Jinich filed a harassment complaint against Morgan with the school's public safety department.

Beckman said that Justin-Jinich said in the report that she had been receiving harassing e-mails and phone calls from Morgan.

"The Public Safety Department brought in the NYPD, and initial conversations were conducted with each person by the police," Beckman said in a written statement. "Ultimately, after attempts to follow up with Ms. Justin-Jinich about pursuing the matter, she declined to pursue the case."

In one e-mail, Morgan alleged said Justin-Jinich was "going to have a lot more problems down the road."

According to the report filed with New York police, Justin-Jinich said she felt "scared" and "threatened" by Morgan's e-mails.

Threats Made Against Students, Jews

Police warned the public on Thursday that Morgan had made threats in his personal journal against Wesleyan students and members of the university's Jewish community.

As a result of the threat, Middletown's only synagogue, Congregation Adath Israel, was closed and Wesleyan students were advised to stay inside. All campus events were canceled on Friday and school faculty members were told not to come to to their offices as the investigation continued.

Justin-Jinich's former stepmother, Karin Radcliffe, said she came from a Jewish family.

The U.S. Marshal's Service was offering a $5,000 reward for any relevant information that leads to the capture or apprehension of Morgan. Wesleyan University was also offering $5,000 for information leading to Morgan's capture.

Suspect's Family Speaks Out

Morgan's family, who live in Marblehead, Mass., said before his capture that they hoped authorities found him before anyone else got hurt.

Diana Morgan, Stephen Morgan's younger sister offered a statement Thursday afternoon on behalf of her family.

"We're shocked and sickened by the tragedy in Middletown, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the friends and family of the victim," she said.

Diana Morgan said her family was cooperating with the authorities. She said her family didn't know where Stephen Morgan is, but pleaded for him to turn himself in.

"Steve, turn yourself in, right now, to any law enforcement agency, wherever you are, to avoid any further bloodshed," she said. "We love you. We will support you in any way, and we don't want anyone to get hurt."

Morgan's brother, Greg Morgan, said Thursday that his family is "absolutely distraught" and hopes police find his brother. He said family members tried to contact him, but that they do not know where he is.

Greg Morgan said his brother has not shown anti-Semitism in the past. "My brother was a very sweet person and had a big heart and I hope he's OK," he said.

Campus, Community Grieves

Middletown Mayor Sebastian Giuliano extended the city's thoughts and prayers to Justin-Jinich's mother, father and sister.

"Personally, as a parent of college-aged children, this has to be every parent's worst nightmare," he said. "You send them away to school and all you think about every day is 'Are they OK?' Our full support is with Wesleyan to help ensure the safety of their students."

Students struggled to cope with the campus shooting on Thursday, with those who knew Justin-Jinich describing her as a passionate writer who was well-liked.

Wesleyan student Sydney Howe said Justin-Jinich trained her to work as a server at the bookstore café where Justin-Jinich was shot.

"She was really fun, a really nice person, really welcoming to everyone that came into the cafe," she said. "She was a really amazing person, so nice when I started. She taught me everything about working at the cafe."

Student David Burke said he first met Justin-Jinich freshman year in their dorm.

He said at the time of the shooting, he and Justin-Jinich only lived two doors apart in an off-campus high-rise.

"She was a very quiet girl, kept to herself, did a lot of homework. She went to her dorm, the library and to work," he said.

Wesleyan President Michael Roth extended condolences to Justin-Jinich's family.

"This is a tragic time for them, and for all of us in the Wesleyan community. We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this event," he said.

Box lunches of roasted vegetables, tuna fish or cheese sandwiches were being delivered to students in dorms while Wesleyan's cafeteria remained closed on Thursday.

"We're supposed to do some work, but really I just keep checking my e-mail and checking on friends and letting people from home know that I'm OK," said freshman Chrstina Yow, of China. "Anything to distract."

School officials said counseling services were being made available to students, faculty and staff.

A memorial vigil is scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. in the Huss Courtyard behind the Usdan Center in honor of Justin-Jinich, Roth said.

"We will gather now because we need to, because it is right to do so, and because we feel it is safe enough to do so," he said. "There is now a much more robust police presence on the Wesleyan campus, and we will retain that presence as long as necessary."

Final exams are scheduled to begin at the school next week. Wesleyan officials said no changes had been made to the exam schedule as of Thursday.
