View source for Ruggles murder-suicide

The '''Ruggles murder-suicide''' incident refers to the [[February 5]], [[2000]] murder of [[Columbia College]] student [[Kathleen Roskot]] in [[Ruggles Hall]] by [[Thomas Nelford]]. Nelford subsequently killed himself by throwing himself in front of a train at the 181st St. [[subway]] station.

Suffice to say, Ruggles room 509 (a double) and the accompanying 508-512 suite, where the murder took place, are unpopular in [[Room Selection]].
