The president of a university in Pennsylvania says one of its students was among those killed in a shooting at a popular nightlife area in Dayton, Ohio.

A release from Father Malachi Van Tassell says Nicholas Cumer was a graduate student in the master of cancer care program at Saint Francis University. Van Tassell says Cumer had been in Dayton as part of an internship program.

He described Cumer as dedicated to caring for others. He says Cumer was among the students recognized for completing more than 100 hours of service. He also says Cumer was a graduate assistant with the university marching band.

He says a mass in Cumer's memory will be arranged on campus this week.

A gunman early Sunday killed nine people before being slain by police.
