4 injured in shooting at North Carolina Central University
A series of shootings occurred on the campus of North Carolina Central University on Saturday night, October 26th, 2024.
The first incident took place around 7:43 PM, when shots were fired in the parking lot behind Debra Saunders-White Residence Hall.
No injuries were reported in this initial incident.
However, a second shooting occurred later that evening, around 8:59 PM, near the Student Services Building on Eagle Campus Drive.
Four individuals, including a North Carolina Central University student, were injured by gunfire. The victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Following the second shooting, the campus was placed on lockdown.
Law enforcement officers responded to the scene and conducted a thorough investigation.
While a suspect was arrested in connection with the first shooting, it remains unclear if any arrests have been made regarding the second incident.
The university has expressed its disappointment and concern over the violence that marred the homecoming weekend.
They have emphasized the importance of community safety and cooperation with law enforcement to address such incidents.
The investigation into both shootings is ongoing.
This morning, a large-scale altercation erupted at Roseville High School, prompting immediate safety measures.
The school is now under a shelter-in-place order, meaning all students and staff are required to remain in secure locations as the situation is managed.
The disturbances began less than an hour ago with a series of fights, escalating quickly across campus.
Reports indicate that several students, primarily young women, were involved in the altercation, and a number have already been taken into custody in handcuffs.
Local law enforcement is on site, working alongside school officials to restore order and ensure the safety of all individuals on campus.
Further details about the cause of the unrest and any injuries have yet to be disclosed.
