Obafemi allegedly shot Cornileus Savage in the forearm Friday. Savage's injuries were not considered life- threatening.

Fulton County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Obafemi Saturday and charged him with aggravated assault, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon at school, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

CAU President Carlton Brown said Obafemi had been suspended while an investigation of the incident was conducted.

Obafemi's next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 18.
