There are no words except for it happened here. A shooting took place on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill Monday afternoon in a science building, Caudill Laboratories. One faculty member was killed. The entire campus was put on lockdown for hours as police searched for the shooter. Students and staff silently cowered in locked, dark classrooms, dorm rooms and other campus buildings until they got the all-clear. Terrified students texted their equally terrified parents letting them know what was going on. Late in the afternoon, police arrested a graduate student in connection with the shooting. In this episode a student shares her experience in lockdown and WRAL reporter Matt Talhelm gives us an update on the developing story.
