Two were slain Tuesday at the University of North Carolina campus, and four others were wounded.
Jeffrey A. Baker, chief of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Police & Public Safety agency, said swift intervention by authorities prevented a shooting on campus from claiming more lives.
“Unfortunately, we did lose two students,” UNC Charlotte Chancellor Philip Dubois told WBT radio. “A terrible day.” “Yes, there was a shooting in my class today,” Adam P. Johnson, an anthropology instructor, wrote in a tweet. Johnson is teaching a course on science, technology and society. “My students are so special to me and I am devastated,” Johnson wrote.
Police identified the suspect Tuesday night as Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, and said he was in custody. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Wednesday that he was charged with two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, possession of a firearm on educational property and discharging a firearm on education property.Dubois called it “the saddest day in UNC Charlotte’s history.
