Campus shooting

-

A man armed with a pistol opened fire on students at a North Carolina university during the last day of classes, killing two people and wounding four, police said. Officers who had gathered ahead of a campus concert raced over and disarmed the suspect. The shooting prompted a lockdown at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and caused widespread panic across campus as students scrambled to take shelter. “Just loud bangs. A couple loud bangs and then we just saw everyone run out of the building, like nervous,” said Antonio Rodriguez, 24. Campus Police Chief Jeff Baker said two people were killed, and three remained in critical condition. He said a fourth person’s injuries were less serious. Students were among the victims, but officials would not say how many. Police identified the suspect as Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22. They said he’s in custody with charges pending.
