| 1 dead in North Carolina university shooting |
| 2015-11-02 |
| One person was killed and another injured early Sunday in a shooting on the campus of Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina, the university's website said. The names of the victims have not been released, and the alleged gunman is still at large, local media reported. Campus police and local police could not immediately be reached for comment. The campus was initially placed on lockdown, but that was later at least partially lifted. "The campus community is advised to exercise caution while on campus today, and stay away from the restricted areas on campus," the university said. This North Carolina shooting comes one day after gun violence in downtown Colorado Springs left four dead. A suspect killed three people before dying in an exchange of gunfire with police, authorities said. The killings and the suspect's shootout with police in front of a Wendy's restaurant unfolded about a mile from the U.S. Olympic Training Center in the central Colorado town. Matt Abshire, 21, told the Colorado Springs Gazette on Saturday that he looked out from his apartment and saw a man with a rifle shoot another person. |

| #1 Winston-Salem is an HBCU. The victim was an information systems major who played football in high school but wanted to focus on academics. My heart goes out to his family. |
