The University of North Carolina issued an Alert Carolina message just after 1pm, warning of an “armed and dangerous person on or near campus.”
The school is currently under lockdown as of 2pm, due to the “active assailant situation,” as reported by ABC 11.
The investigation is focused across the street from the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower, along South Road near Caudill Labs.
