Police looking for additional people who fired guns in Virginia university shooting that wounded 5

ETTRICK, Va. (AP) — Police are searching for more individuals who fired guns during a shooting at Virginia State University that injured five people, officials announced on Sunday. The 19-year-old suspect, Camron Harris, remains in custody while investigators work to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident. Lt. James Lamb, head of the Chesterfield County Police Department's Major Crimes Unit, stated that authorities are attempting to ascertain if the additional shooters acted in self-defense or were part of the aggressors.

The exact number of other shooters is unclear. The shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, prompting a campus lockdown as students prepared for the start of the new academic year. The victims, aged 17 to 23, included only one university student, and Harris, who is not a student, is currently held without bond in Chesterfield County jail and faces multiple charges.
