Five Wounded in Shooting at Virginia State University
A campus lockdown was imposed after multiple people were injured and suspects remained at large following a gun attack at the institution near Richmond.
Five individuals were wounded, one critically, following a shooting incident at Virginia State University early on Saturday, which prompted a campus-wide lockdown. Police confirmed that multiple suspects remained at large as investigations into the incident continued.
The victims were discovered by law enforcement officers near the university's residence halls and specifically around Boisseau Street. Authorities reported that one of the five individuals injured was in critical condition, highlighting the severity of the gun attack.
In response to the shooting, the university campus, situated approximately 20 miles (32km) south of Richmond, was immediately placed under a comprehensive lockdown. This measure was implemented to ensure the safety of students and staff while police units responded to the scene and began their search for those responsible.
The lockdown was subsequently lifted around 8 am on Saturday morning, allowing for a gradual return to normal campus operations. However, law enforcement officials indicated that the search for multiple suspects involved in the shooting was ongoing, with authorities actively pursuing leads.
Investigations are continuing to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the shooting and to apprehend all individuals connected to the violence that unfolded on the Virginia State University grounds.
