Two Dead in Shooting at University of North Carolina Charlotte
Gunfire erupted at the University of North Carolina Charlotte on Tuesday evening, leaving at least two people dead, according to the Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services Agency. Four others were injured, two of them critically.
Police said one suspect was taken into custody. NBC Charlotte recorded the suspect being led into Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's headquarters. Officials reportedly told the outlet the suspect was a former student at the school. Police also said they have no reason to believe another person was involved in the shooting.
More than an hour after an emergency alert was sent out to students warning of an “active assailant” on campus, police officers continued to search room by room for students still hiding from the gunman.
