2 DEAD, 4 INJURED IN SHOOTING AT UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA-CHARLOTTE

Two people have been killed and a man is in custody after a shooting at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte on Tuesday.

UNCC Chief of Police Jeff Baker said during a media briefing that two people were killed and four were injured in a shooting on the campus, which began at about 5:40 p.m. Three of the injured are currently in critical condition, Baker said.

Baker said police were preparing for a Waka Flocka Flame concert set to take place on campus when they were alerted to the shooting. Officers ran to the scene and, within a few minutes, were able to apprehend the shooter, who Baker said was armed with a pistol. Tuesday was UNCC’s last day of classes for the semester.

“Our officers definitely saved lives. There’s no doubt about that,” Baker said.

... students were delivering final presentations for a liberal studies class in the school’s Kennedy building when the shooter began his attack inside their classroom.

... All of a sudden, without warning, no yelling, no nothing, the shots are going off.” He said there was a “deep boom, and a bang, bang, bang, bang.”...

Field said it was “chaos” as students bottlenecked at the door. People were screaming, furniture was turned over and students tripped over each other.

Field says that he never turned to look at the shooter. He doesn’t know who was killed.

“I just ran. That’s all I knew,” he said. “If I looked, it would be too long and I would get shot as well.” [clip]

Police have since declared the scene is secure and that they believe the suspect acted alone.

The shooter is a 22 year old former student who was photographed grinning upon his arrest. He looks deranged and possessed.

Why did he pick a location where guns were not allowed? That makes no sense whatsoever. He had to know he was breaking the law.
Note: I have been on campus during 3 school shootings.

I’ve never seen anything like what’s happening now. There has to be a common thread.

Trystan Andrew Terrell has been identified as the suspect in the shooting (UNCC)

He studied history at UNCC and was a 22-year-old history major. He dropped out from UNCC this semester. Upon his capture, Terrell appeared to slightly grin and “shouted” something that reporters could not make out.

It would not surprise me if there are operatives who find unstable persons and goad them into committing shootings.
Just to push for more gun control.

I’ll just presume he was an obvious Democratic Party voter.

Tired of this. Hell with people who will not defend themselves much less others.

It’s an extreme form of attention seeking copy-cat behavior coupled with a pathological lack of empathy.

Lots of people have minor or underlying psyche issues and they seem to manifest with lethal consequences at a higher degree of frequency due to:

MK Ultra OR

illegal drugs
parental neglect
prescription drugs
media hyped circus
social media exposure
admitting terorists to USA

He was there to kill his statistics adjunct professor.

Sad that the professor is now a statistic.
