active shooter

A University of North Carolina official says that a faculty member was shot and killed in a campus building. UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said the shooting was in Caudill Laboratories, and there is no longer a threat to the public.

A shooter killed five people along a walking trail in North Carolina’s capital city and eluded officers for hours before he was cornered in a home and arrested, police said.

Instead, it took about an hour and 14 minutes from when officers arrived at the school to when they breached the door and ended the standoff with the gunman.

Officials said one male suspect is in custody. The incident comes less than a week after a series of shootings in Atlanta.

Four people are dead and eight people were injured in the shooting. Deputies who responded to the scene engaged the attacker in a shootout in a classroom building.

Florida's governor suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel citing him for neglect of duty and incompetence. A special master is recommending that the state Senate reinstate Israel.

More than two dozen were also injured in the shooting, according to state and local officials. A white man was taken into custody without incident.

Five civilians and the shooter were killed, officials said Friday. The incident occurred at the Henry Pratt Co., about 40 miles outside Chicago, where the man apparently was fired.

The Chicago Police Department says a police officer and three others were killed in a domestic-related shooting at Mercy Hospital & Medical Center on the city's Near South Side.
