A shooter has killed at least three people and wounded at least two others at the University of Virginia's main campus. The suspect remains at large.
A shooter killed three people and wounded two others at the University of Virginia’s main campus in Charlottesville on Sunday, and the suspect – identified as a school student – remains at large, university president Jim Ryan said in a statement issued Monday. The campus was advised to shelter-in-place around 10:40 p.m. following a shooting reported on Culbreth Road, the University of Virginia Police Department tweeted. It has been in lockdown as authorities search for the suspect.
University officials have not identified the victims or stated whether they were students. Authorities said Monday morning that multiple police departments are actively searching for Jones, including the use of a Virginia State Police helicopter. Jones is listed on the university’s athletics website as a football player in 2018, who as a freshman did not participate in any games. CNN has reached out to campus police for more information.
