Charlotte, North Carolina - The University of North Carolina in Charlotte lifted a campus lockdown on Wednesday morning, a day after a gunman killed two people and wounded four on the school's last day of classes for the semester.
"This is the saddest day in UNC Charlotte’s history," the school's chancellor, Phil Dubois, said in a letter to the community posted on the school's website. "Families of the deceased victims are being notified and university staff are with those who are injured." "A chair fell in front of the door, so people were tripping over that, like, trying to climb over it," he said. "Some people fell down. It was like water through a funnel but wasn't fast enough."
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper called the incident a tragic day for the university and the state just a few days before graduation. "But I know the people in this community, and they will be here for each other," he said at a news conference.
