Campus police said Taheriazar used an area designed to give access to Lenoir Hall to work his way to the Pit. Coming from the parking lots in the north side of Davis Library, a car could travel down the side of the cafeteria and end up in the Pit from there. Normally, there are barricades up but on Friday, they were not in place.

Police, SWAT teams and fire departments have swarmed the complex. Capt. Joel Booker, of the Carrboro Police Department, told NBC-17 authorities have not entered Taheriazar's apartment. They are apparently waiting on legal permission to do so.
Taheriazar lives in Apt. D34 in the complex with two roommates. One of the roommates is a UNC student, the other attends a local community college. Authorities have contacted one of the roommates, but are still searching for the other.
