A friend of a Seton Hall University student was hospitalized and is now in fair condition after being found on the school's South Orange campus with gunshot wounds on Monday night. Authorities say the man shot himself.

The man was found in his car Xavier Hall dormitory where he shot himself in the stomach.

Papalia was rushed to University Hospital in Newark, where he was in fair condition late Monday night.
