19-year-old arrested after Virginia State University shooting leaves 5 wounded
A 19-year-old man was arrested after an overnight shooting at Virginia State University left five people wounded, including one critically, police said.
Camron Harris, a 19-year-old from Henrico, Virginia, was arrested on Saturday in connection with a shooting at Virginia State University that left five people wounded, including one with critical injuries. The victims, aged 17 to 23, ranged in age from 17 to 23, but none were students on campus. One of the injured, a 20-year-old student, has since been released from the hospital.
The names of the victims have not been released, and no motive has been provided by authorities. Eight felony warrants were issued for Harris, including charges of malicious wounding and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. It was unclear if Harris had legal representation. The university had initially stated that authorities were searching for multiple suspects, but police later clarified that there was no immediate threat to the campus community after the lockdown was lifted.
The incident occurred near the university's Quad Annexes just after 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, prompting a campus lockdown. The university's statement emphasized the safety and well-being of its students as their top priority.
