Shortly after 1 p.m., the school sent out an alert saying, “Emergency: Armed, dangerous person on or near campus. Go inside now; avoid windows.”
A local NBC station reported there was a massive presence of police and emergency vehicles near the Caudill Labs building on South Road.
There have been reports that a suspect is in custody, though the situation is ongoing, and the campus remains on lockdown.
Alert Carolina sent a message just before 2:30 p.m. saying the suspect is still at large.
The Daily Tar Heel, a student-run paper, reported that one of the lanes on Interstate 40 has been closed, and some campus buildings are being evacuated.
