The AP has reported that he has died, see here (USA Today) and here (Yahoo). As far as I know this has not been confirmed by other sources.

If true it is absolutely appalling and tragic. I got to know him slightly because I sat next to him in an undergrad class I took his last year at ND. He was very friendly and always came to class.

"We lost a member of our Blazer family today with the senseless passing of Greg Bryant," Blazers coach Bill Clark said. "We were so excited to recruit Greg, welcome him to Birmingham and to UAB football, and get to know him over the past several months. Greg was a very special talent and young man. He always had a smile on his face. While he was with us for a short time — too short — he was a big part of an exciting and historical time for our program and will always be a Blazer."

Pray for Greg.

Dear heavenly father. I am praying for strength and peace for Greg'sfamily and friends who are hurting right now. I pray that he gets through this and that when he wakes up his body will be healed and that he turns to you Lord.

I pray that you wrap your loving arms around him and his loved ones. I know that however this turns out is your will dear Lord I just pray that you allow him to stay here with those that love him.Thank you Lord for everything. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen

Strange that they say the incorrect report of his passing came from his family, and they were given the OK to release.

keep fighting Greg. ND Nation is praying for you.

Better than the worst possible scenario but still. Damn, I hate it. Damn, damn, damn. I was rooting for this young man so hard, even after he left ND. He wanted to escape "the life" and it appears it still caught up with him. There are people that don't even try to improve themselves and they make it into their 30s, 40s, 50s.

I don't pretend to understand God's plan but sometimes it doesn't always make sense. You just have to have faith that He knows what He's doing. My heart still weeps for Greg and his loved ones though.

Michigan is what happens when low-brow people gather into a group to talk about how great they are and how worthless everyone else is. This is a completely inappropriate response, rivalry or not.

Even for a scUM fan, that is despicable and uncalled for. Let's see you have a loved one shot, in critical condition and then have someone laugh at you for it. It's hard to look worse than the typical scUM fan, but he managed to pull it off.

Read some his other tweets and can see he has some real mental problems

That was not God's plan. God did not shoot Greg nor did he have someone else do it.
John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
NKJV

If it is life more abundantly it is God-if it steals, kills, and destroys it is not God.
