The District Attorney’s Office says Cruz, 20, admitted to being under the influence of alcohol during the February shooting and admitted to making a mistake.

The fraternity was hosting a semi-closed party on February 24 when Cruz broke into the home on North Prince Street and was confronted by several people. A fight broke out, during which Cruz punched one person in the jaw and fired two shots toward the ceiling.

One person was pistol-whipped during the fight, and Cruz pointed the gun at several people as they fled.

It was determined that the replica gun fired blanks; however, partygoers believed it to be a real firearm.
