Chapel Hill Police identified the victim of a shooting Tuesday on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus as 22-year-old senior Eve Carson, the student body president, the Winston-Salem Journal reports.
Police responded to a report of gunshots in the area early Tuesday morning and found Carson's body lying in the intersection of Hillcrest Dr. and Hillcrest Circle.
This is the second murder of a female college student on a southern campus in as many days. Lauren Burk was shot near Auburn University campus on Tuesday night. Both Carson and Burk are Georgia natives, from towns about one hour from each other.

Campus shootings are becoming all too frequent. This world has gone mad.
NC ping please.
If the media wouldn’t keep it going they might stop eventually.
WTF? I saw the interview with a friend of the slain Auburn student. It sure seemed like that was somebody who was the female version of an Eagle Scout. And now this - appears to be the same sort of thing. WTF?
Serial killer targeting college coeds in the South?
I hope the FBI gets on this case fast!
I thought American universities were dominated by a peaceful, liberal mindset and these sorts of things never happened! /sarc
WTF indeed. This is just unbelievable.
Foxnews.com is just full of such lovely news today.
The world has gone insane.
“Campus shootings are becoming all too frequent.”
That’s because the shooters know they are shooting doves in a cage - no one to return fire.
Yep. And it also gets the shooters the full attention of the MSM they so greatly desire...as NBC made clear last year in the VT shootings when they couldn't air that loser's sad little video fast enough.
the campus was probably another “gun-free” zone
Can you get a smaller version of that pic?
It takes forever to load for those unfortunate dial-up users like myself.
Very sad. Maybe one day people who make such decisions will notice that a ‘gun free zone’ is for all intents and purposes a ‘free fire’ zone.
Yep, Die Volksrepublik of Orange County North Carolina.
Eve Marie Carson, 22, was elected student body president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in February 2007. Her term would have ended in April.
A native of Athens, Ga., Eve was born Nov. 19, 1985. She came to Carolina in the fall of 2004 as the recipient of a prestigious Morehead Scholarship. A member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society, she was a pre-medicine student majoring in both political science and biology. As a North Carolina Fellow, she was part of a four-year leadership development program for undergraduates.
While at UNC Chapel Hill, she was extremely active in both leadership and service roles. As student body president, she was also a member of the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees. She served as co-president of the Honors Program Student Executive Board and as a member of the Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Student Aide; the Academic Advising Program; and the Chancellor’s committee for University Teaching Awards.
Teaching and working with children were key service interests for Eve. In 2006, she taught science at Frank Porter Graham Elementary School in Chapel Hill as part of UNC’s INSPIRE program, whose mission is to encourage young students to pursue science as an interest. In her junior year, Carson was a tutor at Githens Middle School in Durham. She was also an assistant coach in the Girls on the Run of the Triangle, a character development program for girls ages 8-12 that uses running to teach values and a sense of self.
Eve’s service extended well beyond the Triangle, however. In the spring of her sophomore year, she participated in a study abroad in Havana, Cuba, and she spent her summers working and volunteering in Ecuador, Egypt and Ghana as part of the Morehead Summer Enrichment program. “I credit my prior experiences, especially my past two Morehead summers, for preparing me to get along with pretty much whatever comes my way,” she wrote in an e-mail posted on the Morehead Web site. On campus, she became involved in Nourish International, an organization started by UNC students in 2002 for hunger relief. Eve served as freshman volunteer coordinator (2004) and co-chair (2005) for the group.
The daughter of Bob Carson and Teresa Bethke, Eve was also the student body president of her high school, Clarke Central, in Athens, Ga. When she ran for the same office at Carolina, she was elected with 55 percent of the vote in a runoff with a bigger turnout than the previous year’s general election.
