2 dead, 4 injured after shooting on UNC Charlotte campus; suspect arrested: Police

Two people have been killed and another four injured after a shooting on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, officials told ABC News.

CMPD and UNCC going room by room on campus to identify any students, faculty or others who may be sheltering in place.⚠️"This is the worst day in the history of UNC Charlotte," School Chancellor Philip L. Dubois said Tuesday night. Officers responded to the scene and were able to get into the building where the suspect was located, disarmed him and took him into custody, officials said. The suspect did not say anything to the officers as he was arrested.

"The first thing that went to my head was, 'Yeah this is actually happening, but just don't sit there, like get up and go,'" said student Jordan Pearce, who was just outside the classroom when the shooting began."So I grabbed a girl and we just went straight for the bathroom and called our parents after that."

The college's main campus, at University City, was established in 1946 and is located on the northeast outskirts of North Carolina's largest city. The public university has an undergraduate enrollment of over 24,000 students.

And such reassuring responses from the Governor at news conference, offering that the state would take a “hard look” at how such shootings could be prevented in the future. REALLY?! How incredibly comforting for the friends & families of the victims.

Deep sympathies to the love of those that died and injured but can’t help wondering how it is possible that all mass shooters that are white are taken alive.

Tragic

Schools and churches of any type are not safe....that's why I hang out at bars! When was the last time you heard of terrorists shooting up a bar! Lol

Poway, Baltimore,Tennessee and now this This is our National Emergency!
