Charlottesville, VA – At least one person has been stabbed following reports of an active attacker armed with a knife near the University of Virginia (UVA) on Emmet Street South, prompting an emergency response and a campus-wide shelter-in-place order.
The University of Virginia Police Division (UVAPD) issued an urgent alert after receiving reports of a male suspect wielding a knife near Alumni Hall.
Authorities classified the situation as an “active attacker” incident, urging students and faculty to “RUN, HIDE, FIGHT” as part of their emergency protocol.
Initial descriptions of the suspect provided by UVA officials indicated a white male wearing a red hoodie and blue sweatpants.
However, an updated description later identified the attacker as a middle-aged white male wearing a white shirt, blue pants, and white shoes.
As law enforcement responded to the scene, UVA Police instructed all members of the campus community to shelter in place and immediately call 911 if they encountered the suspect.
Authorities have not yet released details on the condition of the stabbing victim(s) or whether additional individuals were harmed in the attack.
Law enforcement officers remain actively engaged in securing the area and investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. It remains unclear whether the attacker has been taken into custody.
Students, faculty, and Charlottesville residents are urged to stay vigilant and follow updates from UVAPD and university officials. Anyone with information related to the suspect’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact UVA Police immediately.
This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more details emerge.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
