2 Killed, 4 Injured as Gunman Opens Fire at University of North Carolina
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Carolina, two people were killed and four wounded Tuesday when
a man with a pistol opened fire at the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte on the last day of classes. The shooting sparked widespread
panic across the campus, with students and staff huddling in offices
while police locked down buildings for hours. Exams were canceled
through Sunday. Police later arrested 22-year-old student Trystan Andrew
Terrell, saying the suspect was "not somebody on our radar." There was
no apparent motive for the shooting. According to the Gun Violence
Archive, there have been over 100 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this
year.
