It was around 6:00 a.m. Friday when, police say, a man in his 20's shot in himself in the chest on the east patio of the library.
The victim, only identified as a man in his 20s and a 2008 University of Delaware graduate, was rushed by medics to Christiana Hospital.
He was last reported to be in fair condition.
The library is still open and police say there is no danger to anyone on campus.
