Early Sunday morning, a routine disturbance call turned into a harrowing incident at Virginia State University, as a police officer was shot and critically wounded. The suspect remains at large, causing the university to remain on lockdown as a precautionary measure.
The incident occurred around 1:34 a.m. when the officer responded to a disturbance on campus. The officer, whose identity has not been released, was transported to VCU Medical Center according to the university’s press release.
This shooting is yet another tragic reminder of the ongoing gun violence crisis in America. It serves as a call to action for stricter gun control laws and for communities to come together to address and prevent these senseless acts of violence.
The university has not yet released any further details about the shooting, and the investigation is ongoing. As the campus remains on lockdown, students, faculty, and staff are urged to stay vigilant and to contact authorities with any information that may help in the search for the suspect.
