The University of North Carolina-Charlotte remained on lockdown Tuesday night, following a deadly shooting on campus.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, two people were found dead at the scene, and four others were hospitalized with injuries that ranged from life-threatening to non-life-threatening. Officials have not confirmed the identities of the victims or if they were enrolled at the school.
Officials said five shots were fired at around 5:45 p.m. local time near UNCC’s Kennedy Building. Allison Latos of WSOCTV reports police have one suspect—a 22-year-old male student—in custody.
A UNCC student spoke to WSOCTV about the moment he learned about the shooting. He said he was on his way to a Waka Flocka concert on campus, when he was alerted about the lockdown.
“It was terrifying—did not expect it in the least,” the student told the station over the phone.
