(AP) -- A memorial service has been held for a 19-year-old Spelman College student who was struck and killed by a stray bullet at Clark Atlanta University. 

Jasmine Lynn's parents were joined by her classmates and students from Clark Atlanta and Morehouse colleges who gathered in Spelman's sanctuary for the service Tuesday afternoon. 

Clark Atlanta President Carlton E. Brown told the crowd that Lynn was an exceptional and irreplaceable student who had deserved to be safe on his campus.  Both he and Spelman President Beverly Daniel Tatum said the killing had reinvigorated talk among them and Morehouse College about the need to improve security at their schools, which border crime-infested neighborhoods.
