Micah Baldonado, a biomedical engineering student from Charlotte, N.C., holds his petition for improvements to the UNC-Chapel Hill active shooter response protocol on campus, Wednesday, Aug. 30, 2023, days after a shooting at the university. – As sirens blared across the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and cell phones lit up with alerts of an active shooter, Micah Baldonado cried quietly at his desk while his teacher proceeded with the lecture.
Thanks to the protocol, UNC Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said, “this situation played out as best as we could have asked for.” An Associated Press reporter who was on campus during the lockdown observed hundreds of confused students evacuated from buildings without receiving clear directions before a 4:14 p.m. “all clear” message was sent. Many were left crying and calling their parents from sidewalks, not knowing where to go.
The freshman was sitting on the steps of the journalism school when the first alarm rang."It sounded like ‘The Purge,’" she recalled.
