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.
