BirSaNN Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The University of Virginia remained under lockdown Monday, hours after three people were killed and two injured in a shooting near a parking garage on campus, authorities said. A search was underway for the suspect, who university President Jim Ryan said was a student at the elite, 22,000-student school. "Update: Active search still underway on and around UVA Grounds. Remain sheltered in place. Please stay safe, thank you for your patience and understanding," the UVA Police Department tweeted at about 9:30 am Monday. Police said a shooting was reported at about 10:40 pm Sunday on the northern edge of campus, tweeting: "UVA Alert: ACTIVE ATTACKER firearm reported in area of Culbreth Road. RUN HIDE FIGHT." Ryan said counseling and psychological services would be made available to students. Classes were canceled Monday. “This is a message any leader hopes never to have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia,” Ryan wrote in an open letter shared on social media. “This is a traumatic incident for everyone in our community.” The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said agents were assisting in the investigation. Gov. Glenn Youngkin said State Police were coordinating with local authorities, adding that he and his wife, Suzanne, were "praying for the UVA community." link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/11/14/university-virginia-shooting-suspects-victims/10695450002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
