ASU officials couldn't have foreseen the shooting of Brandon Falkner, a former ASU football player, according to a report released Monday.
But the report also said that Gene Smith, ASU's former athletics director, and Dirk Koetter, head football coach, made "errors in judgment" regarding allegations of improper conduct by Loren Wade, who is suspected of shooting Falkner. Wade was an ASU football player when the shooting occurred.
The document, released Monday, came from a committee created by ASU President Michael Crow to investigate the March 26 shooting death.
Wade, 21, admitted to shooting Falkner in the parking lot of Coyote Bay Night Club in Scottsdale. But he also said he accidentally discharged his gun. He was charged with first-degree murder.
Crow commissioned the study, headed by Myles Lynk, a faculty athletics representative and law professor, to investigate what ASU officials could do better in the future to avoid similar incidents.
