Chapel Hill, August 29
A faculty member of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was shot dead on campus on Monday afternoon, and a suspect has been taken into custody, according to a school spokesman, CNN reported.
The incident caused people to seek shelter for several hours while police investigated.
At 1:02 pm ET, shots were reportedly fired at the school’s Caudill Laboratories. Shortly after 2:30 pm, Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz confirmed that a suspect had been taken into custody.
The suspect’s and the faculty member’s names were not right away disclosed. UNC Police Chief Brian James stated on Monday night that it was still too early to determine the motive behind the shooting, according to CNN.
“We really want to know the ‘why’ in this case and what led to it,” James said, adding that the gun used in the shooting had not been found.
“This loss is devastating and the shooting damages the trust and safety that we so often take for granted in our campus community. We will work to rebuild that sense of trust and safety within our community,” Guskiewicz said, as reported by CNN.
