LA Times  

Police have arrested a University of North Carolina graduate student in the shooting death on campus of a science professor. Police charged a University of North Carolina graduate student Tuesday with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a faculty member that caused a campus lockdown amid a search for the gunman. “And we want to learn from this incident, and we will certainly work to do our best to ensure that this never happens again on the UNC campus.” Campus police received a 911 call reporting shots fired at Caudill Labs just after 1 p.m. Monday, James said. “This loss is devastating, and the shooting damages the trust and safety that we so often take for granted in our campus community,” Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said.
