Law Student Ordered To Stand Trial

Temple law student Gerald Ung, the man caught on Fox 29 surveillance cameras shooting a Villanova student, has been ordered to stand trial.

Ung was initially charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot former Villanova student Ed DiDonato Jr. at 4th and Market Streets in Philadelphia.

Fox 29 security cameras caught the violence on videotape around 2:30 a.m. Sunday on January 17, when Ung bumped into DiDonato and his friends. Next, DiDonato and his friends appear to follow Ung. That's when you see Ung pull out a gun and point the weapon.

Then, the video shows DiDonato – who is unarmed – lunge toward Ung. Police say Ung fired five times, critically wounding DiDonato.

Police sources tell Fox 29 that Ung has a firearms permit issued to him from Virginia.


Ung's lawyer says he fired in self defense.

The victim is recovering at McGee Rehabilitation.
