Students at Temple University gathered Monday night to honor five students who died this semester, including Samuel Collington, who was killed during an attempted carjacking last week outside his off-campus apartment. Students say safety changes are needed following Collington’s death.

Students say they’re disappointed it took the death of one their own to push for safety changes as they came together to remember and grieve.

As the bells tolled on the campus of Temple University, students — solemn and united — gathered to remember five of their classmates who died this semester.
