Quote:At least two people are dead and four injured in a shooting on Tuesday night at a North Carolina university, according to local emergency services.


One suspect is one custody and the scene is secure, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department[/url]tweeted about two hours after shots were reported. Police said they believe no other suspects were involved. 


The University of North Carolina at Charlotte campus was [url=https://twitter.com/NinerAlerts/status/1123347449643446279]on lockdown following reports of the shooting. The fatalities and injuries were reported by the Mecklenburg Emergency Medical Services Agency.


"We are in shock to learn of an active shooter situation on the campus of UNC Charlotte," Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said on Twitter. "My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives, those injured, the entire UNCC community and the courageous first responders who sprang into action to help others."


Authorities swept through buildings on campus looking for students and staff sheltering in place. An alert asked students to follow officer commands and for others to stay away from campus until an all clear is given.

The university has more than 26,500 students and 3,000 faculty and staff. Gov. Roy Cooper was traveling to Charlotte, police said. 


To reunite students with their families, the police told people to meet at a grocery store in a shopping center directly across the street from campus. The university bused some students to the center, police said.


Jennifer Bailey said she was waiting to meet up with her daughter, a grad student at the university. Her daughter is currently locked in an office with 11 other students, she said.


“It’s the worst feeling ... when that text comes,” she said. “I’ve never felt so helpless.”

University officials issued an alert telling students to stay in a safe location. Gun shots were reported near a building on campus at about 5:40 p.m., according to the university. 


Aerial shots from local television news outlets showed police officers running toward a building, while another view showed students running on a campus sidewalk.


Susan B. Harden, a county commissioner and education professor at UNCC, said she talks about shootings frequently while training teachers, but the incident shocked her. 


“I’m stunned and heartbroken,” she said. “This is not what’s supposed to happen in an educational setting.”



Tuesday marked the last day of classes before final exams begin Thursday, according to the university academic calendar. 



A free Waka Flocka Flame concert at the school's football stadium was scheduled for 6 p.m. local time, shortly after gunshots were reported.

That's one of those guys they should have been paying attention to because of the way he looks. He just looks like someone who is going to do something messed up.
