An apparent shooting has happened on the University of North Carolina’s flagship campus. The Chapel Hill school issued an alert around 1 p.m. Monday warning of an “armed, dangerous person on or near campus” and urging people to go inside and avoid windows. Authorities haven’t provided details of the alleged shooting, including whether anyone had been shot. But Gov. Roy Cooper posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he had spoken to the Orange County sheriff and the state’s public safety secretary and “pledged all state resources needed to capture the shooter and protect the UNC campus.” About 90 minutes after the school’s first alert went out, it warned on X that the “suspect” was still “at large.”
One officer admonished two people who tried to exit the student center, yelling “Inside, now!” About 10 minutes later, law enforcement escorted a group of students out of one of the science buildings, with everyone walking in an orderly line with their hands up.
A student told TV station WTVD that she had barricaded her dormitory door with her furniture. Another student, speaking softly, described hiding in fear with others in a dark bathroom. It was also the first day of kindergarten for Brewer’s 5-year-old son. His elementary school was also on lockdown.
