Suspect arrested in Virginia State shooting that wounded 5: Police

A suspect in the shooting at Virginia State University early Saturday that left five people wounded, including one critically, has been arrested after being found hiding in a closet on the campus hours after the shooting, according to police.

The Chesterfield County Police Department said they found Camron Harris, 19, of Henrico, Virginia, in a closet in Seward Hall, a residence hall on the school’s campus, at about 4 p.m. — more than 12 hours after the shooting was reported. Police said he is not a student at the university, which is located in Ettrick, Virginia.

Harris was taken to the Chesterfield County Jail where police said they obtained eight felony warrants — four for malicious wounding and four for the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Harris is being held without bond, according to police.

Police said the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.

The shooting, which occurred outside the university residence halls shortly before 1:30 a.m. Saturday, prompted a lockdown that was later lifted.

One of those wounded was a 20-year-old VSU student, who sustained non-life threatening injuries and has been released from the hospital, according to police and the university.

The four other victims are not students at the school, according to police.

One person, a 21-year-old man who was initially listed as having life-threatening injuries, was upgraded to critical condition, police said in a news release Saturday night. The other victims were a 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old.

The university said there would be an increased police presence on campus.

So a guy who had no business being on the campus in the first place, shot four other guys who had no business being on the campus, either… plus one student victim who was very possibly a bystander from that dorm.

And we’re calling it a “school shooting.” Of course we are.

“The university said there would be an increased police presence on campus.”

Is this one of the campuses calling to DeFund Police and whining that cops on campus with guns “triggered them”?
… Let the campus walk naked.
