Police say 19-year-old arrested in connection with Virginia State University shooting
Police say Camron Harris faces eight felony warrants after the shooting, and one victim remains in critical condition while four others were released.
- On Saturday, Chesterfield County Police arrested 19-year-old Camron Harris after finding him hiding in a Virginia State University dormitory closet following an overnight shooting that wounded five people near the Quad Annexes.
- Authorities obtained eight felony warrants for Harris, including malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, with The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisting the investigation.
- Police confirmed Harris and four of the five wounded individuals were not students; the university has about 5,700 students and sits 24 miles south of Richmond in Ettrick, Virginia.
- Many students had just completed the "New Trojans Experience" orientation when the shooting occurred, prompting the university to state, "We recognize the concern this incident has caused among our students, parents, alumni, friends, and the broader VSU community."
- Arthur Fridrich, the university's former director of distance education, called the event "very tragic," noting it "casts a shadow in the minds of all students" as classes resume on Monday.
