Fayetteville - A Tennessee high school senior shot a classmate dead on the school grounds yesterday in what may have been a love triangle dispute, three days before the two would have graduated, police said.

The victim, Robert Nicholas Creson (18), had argued earlier in the day with the student who shot him in what appeared to be a dispute over a girlfriend, investigators at the Fayetteville police department said.
