UNCC Shooting: 2 Dead, 4 Injured On Charlotte Campus

Posted on April 15, 2020

CHARLOTTE, NC — The gunman accused of killing two people and wounding four others inside a classroom on the University of North Carolina Charlotte campus was tackled and taken into custody by campus police trained for an active shooter, authorities said Tuesday night.

Three of the injured gunshot victims are in critical condition, according to officials.

The suspect, who was armed with a pistol, began to fire inside the campus building around 4:40 p.m., Chief Jeff Baker, head of UNCC police and public safety, said at a press conference Tuesday night.

“Run, Hide, Fight. Secure yourself immediately,” the school’s emergency notification service said in a tweet sent out to students.

Baker said the officers trained for the incident and one officer went to the suspect immediately to take him down.

“We responded immediately and we were able to take the suspect into custody,” Baker said. “Our officers’ actions definitely saved lives. There’s no doubt about that.”

Authorities would not confirm the shooters identity or the exact weapons used in the shooting, pending a CMPD investigation. He was not someone on the radar of campus police, Baker said.

Earlier in the evening, it was reported that the gunman is a student of the north Charlotte university.

“I can’t tell you the sadness of the entire community to know a situation like this has occurred on our campus,” Baker said.

Following the incident, police advised families seeking to reunite with students to meet in the Harris Teeter parking lot located at 8600 University City Boulevard.

A Waka Flocka Flame concert was scheduled to begin on campus at 6 p.m. at the Jerry Richardson Stadium. That event, as well as a Charlotte 49ers baseball game scheduled for the evening were canceled.

Here is UNCC’s protocol during a lockdown:

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.

Lots of students are on campus right now because Waka Flocka Flame has a concert at the football stadium. A student on the phone with @wsoctv says he was on his way there when he saw lots of people running @wsoctv pic.twitter.com/WF7Kv1U8J5
