I’M ALSO GRATEFUL TO OUR FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS FOR THEIR EFFECTIVE COOPERATION DURING THIS EVENT. TODAY. IT’S WHY WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN WITH AN ACTIVE SHOOTER PROTOCOL THAT’S PRACTICED REGULARLY AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS SITUATION PLAYED OUT AS BEST AS WE COULD HAVE ASKED. ASKED FOR TODAY. I HOPE THAT YOU’LL JOIN ME IN PRAYING FOR THE VICTIM, THE VICTIM’S FAMILY AND EVERY MEMBER OF OUR CAROLINA COMMUNITY. AND I ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. I’M NOW GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO CHIEF JAMES TO GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND HIS DEPARTMENT’S IMPRESSIVE RESPONSE IN KEEPING THE REST OF OUR CAMPUS SAFE. AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, MANY OF WHOM ARE HERE TODAY, FOR THE ROLE THAT THEY PLAYED IN KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. THANK YOU. I’M BRIAN JAMES. I’M THE CHIEF OF POLICE FOR THE UNCW POLICE DEPARTMENT. I THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING AND THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR GUSKIEWICZ. I ALSO WANT TO OFFER MY SYMPATHY TO THE VICTIM IN THIS INCIDENT AND EXPRESS MY EMPATHY TO THE ENTIRE UNCW AND CHAPEL HILL COMMUNITY. I’M VERY SORRY TO BE STANDING BEFORE YOU TODAY. IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. IT’S THE DAY WE TRAIN FOR, BUT WE HOPE IT NEVER COMES. I KNOW THERE WILL BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AS WE TRY TO ANSWER AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION AND THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS TO AT THIS TIME. I WANT TO START BY CONFIRMING, AS THE CHANCELLOR DID, WE DO HAVE THE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY FROM TODAY’S ACTIVE ASSAILANT INCIDENT. AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT RELEASING IN THE FORMAL THE NAME OF THE SUSPECT AS FORMAL CHARGES HAVE NOT YET BEEN FILED. WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONDUCTING A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IN AND WE WILL PROVIDE AS MANY UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AS WE CAN. THE FBI IS PROVIDING ASSISTANCE WITH MULTIPLE RESOURCES, INCLUDING VICTIM ASSISTANCE AND THE EVIDENCE RESPONSE TEAM. THE CAUDLE LAB, WHICH IS THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT, WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. NOTICE AS EVIDENCE IS BEING PROCESSED, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE GATHER EVERY PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE TODAY AND WHY IT HAPPENED. IT IS TOO EARLY IN THIS INVESTIGATION TO KNOW A MOTIVE FOR THE SHOOTING. WE WILL BE WORKING WITH ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES YOU SEE REPRESENTED HERE TO UNCOVER EVERY FACT AVAILABLE THAT WILL TAKE TIME. SO WE ASK IN THE MEANTIME THAT YOU CONTINUE TO EXPRESS YOUR WARM THOUGHTS TO THE UNCW, CHAPEL HILL COMMUNITY. THIS INVESTIGATION WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW. UMC POLICE RECEIVED A 911 CALL AT 1:02 P.M. THIS AFTERNOON REPORTING SHOTS FIRED AT CALDWELL LABORAL TREE LOCATED ON SOUTH ROAD IN THE NEAR THE CENTER OF CAMPUS. AN EMERGENCY ALERT CAROLINA WAS ISSUED AND THE EMERGENCY SIREN SOUNDED AT 1:04 P.M. NOTIFYING CAMPUS OF THE EMERGENCY AND ISSUING A LOCKDOWN UPON ARRIVAL AT CALDWELL LABS, POLICE DISCOVERED ONE INDIVIDUAL L A FACULTY MEMBER, HAD BEEN SHOT UNDER. FORTUNATELY, AS WE HAVE REPORTED, THIS PERSON IS DECEASED. WE WILL NOT BE RELEASING FURTHER DETAILS ON THAT PERSON AT THIS TIME. AS WE ARE WORKING TO CONTACT ALL OF THIS PERSON’S FAMILY AND WILL BE PROVIDING THEM WITH SUPPORT AND RESOURCES AS THIS IS THE ONLY FATALITY. WE AND NO OTHER INJURIES WERE REPORTED. AND BASED ON WITNESS INFORMATION AT THE SCENE, UNCW POLICE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A SUSPECT AND AFTER A SEARCH OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AT 2:31 P.M. THE LOCKDOWN OF THE CAMPUS REMAINED, WHILE POLICE VERIFY THE SUSPECT’S IDENTITY AND CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH FOR THE WEAPON THAT WAS USED IN IN THE SHOOTING, WHICH AT THIS TIME HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED. I WANT TO THANK ALL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHO RESPONDED TO TO ASSIST TODAY. THEIR ASSISTANCE WAS INVALUABLE AND WE COULD NOT HAVE RESPONDED SO QUICKLY OR SO THOROUGHLY WITHOUT THEIR HELP. SO AT THIS TIME, I’LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO KEVIN AND I GUESS WE’LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THIS TIME. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, LIKE SHE SAID, WE’LL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE. OBVIOUSLY ONGOING INVESTIGATION, ONLY SO MANY THINGS THAT CAN BE DISCUSSED. BUT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. I’LL POINT TO YOU AND IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND THEN ASK YOUR QUESTION. WE’RE BECOMES ABOUT STEVEN SCHLINK, EAST CAROLINA. WE WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. POLICE DID CONFIRM TO US THAT THAT IS THAT DOES HAVE SOME SORT OF CORRELATION TO THIS EVENT. CAN YOU ALL SPEAK TO WHAT KIND OF CORRELATION THAT HAS TO THIS. YES, A CAR WAS IDENTIFIED. WE DO THINK THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE INVESTIGATION AS WE SAID, WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING EVIDENCE AND CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS. SO I’M REALLY NOT PREPARED AT THIS TIME TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT THE CONNECTION IS. BUT WE DO HAVE THAT CAR IDENTIFIED AS A PIECE OF POSSIBLE EVIDENCE. YES, SIR. RIGHT HERE. LIKE, YEAH. SO WE’VE HEARD FROM TALKING TO STUDENTS THAT THEY WERE THEY HAD SOME CONFUSION DURING THE DAY BECAUSE BETWEEN THE TIME THAT YOU SAID THE SUSPECT WAS APPREHENDED AND THE TIME THAT THE ALL CLEAR WENT OUT, THAT WAS ABOUT TWO HOURS. AND STUDENTS FOR BEING EVACUATED FROM SOME BUILDINGS BEFORE THEN AND SAID THAT THEY WEREN’T REALLY SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE COMMUNICATION DURING THIS PROCESS AND WHY THAT ALL CURRITUCK SO LONG? YES. SO ONCE THE SUSPECT WAS IDENTIFIED AND APPREHENDED, WE STILL HAD TO ENSURE THAT THIS WAS THE CORRECT PERSON. SO THERE WAS AN IDENTIFIED CREATION PROCESS. WE DID NOT WANT TO TO PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE WE WEREN’T SURE. ALSO, WE WERE RECEIVING A NUMBER OF CALLS AROUND CAMPUS ABOUT POSSIBLY HAVING OTHER VICTIMS THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OTHER CALLS ABOUT POSSIBLE GUNSHOTS. SO WE HAD TO ENSURE OUR THAT THE ENTIRE CAMPUS WAS SAFE. SO WE HAD A NUMBER OF OFFICERS THAT WERE ON THE GROUND DOING AN ENTIRE SWEEP OF THAT AREA, ALSO SEARCHING ALL THE ADJACENT BUILDINGS. SO WE WANTED TO BE SURE THAT WE THAT THAT THE CAMPUS WAS, IN FACT, ALL CLEAR BEFORE WE ISSUED THAT. SO THAT’S WHY THERE WAS THE THE LAPSE IN TIME. WE JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT WE HAD THAT PERSON IN CUSTODY AND THAT WAS THE CORRECT PERSON. OKAY. BACK ROW. YEAH. CAN YOU TELL US THE SUSPECT AND THE FACULTY MEMBER WAS KILLED? WERE THEY KNOWN TO EACH OTHER? DID THEY EVER WORK TOGETHER? PERHAPS A POTENTIAL STUDENT? WE DON’T KNOW THAT INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. THAT’LL HOPEFULLY BE UNCOVERED THROUGH INTERVIEWS OF THE SUSPECT, AS WELL AS ANY WITNESSES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE. TO US. THIS IS THE SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL YOU’VE GOT NEW STUDENTS ON CAMPUS, RETURNING STUDENTS, AND FAMILIES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES? THIS IS REALLY A TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND THESE TRAGIC EVENTS, SADLY, ARE HAPPENING ACROSS OUR NATION. AND AND AGAIN, IT’S WHY WE PREPARE AND, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT A SENSE OF COMMUNITY. AND SO RIGHT NOW, THAT’S MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH OBVIOUSLY THE VICTIM AND HIS THE VICTIM’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AND STUDENTS WHO ARE PART OF THAT DEPARTMENT TONIGHT. AND SO WE HOPE OUR STUDENTS WILL ACCESS THE RESOURCES THAT WE’RE MAKING AVAILABLE AND AND COME TOGETHER TO IN A REALLY IMPORTANT WAY FOR THE CAMPUS RIGHT NOW, THERE’S AN OBSERVER. CAN YOU CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW THE SUSPECT WAS APPREHENDED AND WHERE EXACTLY HE WAS APPREHENDED? WERE THERE ANY TIPS THAT CAME IN? WERE THERE ANY REPORTS. SO WE DID A COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH OF CAMPUS AS WELL AS SURROUNDING AREAS. SO AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT PREPARED TO SAY HOW HE WAS APPREHENDED. ID, BUT WE ARE SURE THAT IT’S HIM AND WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY THAT IN THE BACK ROW. ALL RIGHT. I SPOKE WITH SEVERAL STUDENTS. ONE OF THEM THIS IS FOR CHANCELLOR. SHE HAD SAID THAT THE FACULTY HAD ESSENTIALLY TOLD THE STUDENTS TO MAKE PERSONAL DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. SHE HAD SAID THAT SHE EVEN HID IN A CLOSET. A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE CALLING THEIR PARENTS, SAYING THAT GOODBYES. I KNOW YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER KIND OF PROTOCOL PUT IN PLACE, BUT IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THAT MAYBE GOT LOST IN CONFUSION TODAY. AND I KNOW THIS IS A SCARY KIND OF INCIDENT, BUT WHAT IS THAT PROTOCOL? AN AND AGAIN, THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION AGAIN, I’M VERY PLEASED WITH HOW THE PROTOCOL WAS CARRIED OUT TODAY. I HAD A CHANCE TO GO OVER ALONG WITH THE PROVOST AND OTHERS, TO TALK WITH THE FACULTY WHO WERE THERE IN THE BUILDING AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING AND SOME OF THE STUDENTS. AND THERE CERTAINLY TRAUMATIZED. BUT I WANT TO COMMEND THOSE WHO WERE IN THE BUILDING, ENSURING THAT THEY WERE DOING EVERY EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THOSE STUDENTS AND FACULTY AND STAFF THAT WERE IN THE BUILDING. SO, AGAIN, EVEN THE BEST LAID PLANS, AS YOU KNOW, IN PROTOCOLS, SOMETIMES THEY DON’T PLAY OUT AS YOU’D LIKE TO, BUT I’M VERY PLEASED WITH WHAT WE KNOW AT THIS POINT. WE’LL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THAT, LEARN FROM THE INVESTIGATION AND QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ASKED AND CERTAINLY PUT IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT IF NEED BE. SO LEFT, YES. HOW HELPFUL IS IT TO HAVE A SUSPECT ALIVE. WELL, WE CERTAINLY WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERVIEW THE SUSPECT, IF THAT’S POSSIBLE, AND TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY. IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE OUT THE WHY AND EVEN THE HOW. AND ALSO HELPS US TO UNCOVER A MOTIVE AND AND REALLY JUST WHY THIS HAPPENED TODAY, WHY TODAY? WHY AT ALL? AND WE WANT TO LEARN FROM THIS INCIDENT AND WE WILL CERTAINLY WORK TO DO OUR BEST TO ENSURE THAT THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE USC CAMPUS. AND I THINK THAT THAT INFORMATION THAT WE COULD GLEAN FROM THE SUSPECT IS VERY IMPORTANT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. ROWAN CARK YES, SURE. OKAY. YOU SAID YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A WEAPON. IS IT A FIREARM? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF FIREARM? IS IT TOO EARLY TO TELL IF THE SUSPECT HAS LEGALLY OBTAINED A FIREARM. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FIREARM. IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF THE FIREARM WAS LEGALLY OBTAINED AND NOT PREPARED AT THIS TIME TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF WEAPON IT WAS. MIDDLE. AND THERE WERE REPORTS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT POSSIBLY SOME OTHER SUSPECT BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. WAS THAT AN ERROR? AND KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THERE? YES. SO THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON THAT WAS DETAINED AND WE DETERMINED VERY QUICKLY THAT THAT WAS NOT IN FACT, THE SUSPECT. THE SECOND ROW. HI. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT CRITERIA LED TO THAT ARREST AND THEN LET GO OF THAT FIRST INITIAL SUSPECT AND WHY THAT MISTAKE WAS MADE OR HOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON THAT, THAT WAS BASED ON JUST THE DESCRIPTION THAT WE WERE GIVEN OF THE SUSPECT AND THAT PERSON BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE INCIDENT. THIRD ROW, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING TO SPEAK TO THE SUSPECT TO TRY TO ASCERTAIN THE MOTIVE, BUT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN SHARE AT THIS TIME AS TO WHAT MIGHT HAVE LED TO THIS? WE REALLY DON’T KNOW UNTIL WE SPEAK WITH THE SUSPECT. THAT’S JUST THAT’S MY BEST ANSWER I CAN GIVE YOU NOW. WE REALLY DO WANT TO KNOW THE WHY IN THIS CASE AND WHAT LED TO IT. SO THEY WON’T BE THE LAST UPDATE WE HAVE WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. OVER HERE ON THE LEFT, WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS RIGHT HERE IN THE FRONT ROW WHO LIVE THROUGH THIS. THOUSANDS OUT THERE WHO WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TODAY. WHAT CAN YOU TELL THEM, FRANKLY, TO TELL US TO FIND. FIRST OF ALL, I’M SORRY BECAUSE I KNOW SO MANY OF YOU ARE FEELING UNCERTAIN ABOUT YOUR SAFETY RIGHT NOW. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE VERY GOOD PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. THERE’S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT ON OUR CAMPUS THAN THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AND CERTAINLY OUR NEARLY 30,000 STUDENTS ARE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST ALONGSIDE OUR FACULTY AND STAFF. SO WE’RE HERE FOR YOU. I’M PLEADING WITH YOU TO USE ANY OF THE RESOURCES THAT THAT YOU MAY NEED AND WE’LL COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO VISITS OUR CAMPUS HERE IN CHAPEL HILL. I THINK OUR LAST TWO HERE, CHANCELLOR, CAN YOU SPECIFY WHAT KIND OF TRAINING FACULTY AND STUDENTS GET WHEN IT COMES SPECIFICALLY TO ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATIONS? CAN YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON THAT? SO WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN AND ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING IS PART OF THAT. AND SO WE ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE ROLLED OUT A PROGRAM BY WHICH AND I’M GOING TO ASK CHIEF JAMES TO SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT, ALONG WITH DARYL JETER, WHO WHO I KNOW IS DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF RUNNING OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS. OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES PROVIDED TO FACULTY FOR THE SPECIFIC CLASSROOMS AND LABORATORIES IN TERMS OF HOW TO GO ABOUT DOING THIS. NOW, IT’S EVERY CLASSROOM, EVERY LABORATORY, EVERY AUDITORIUM IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF HOW YOU WOULD LOCK DOWN A FACILITY. BUT WE’RE DOING THE VERY BEST THAT WE CAN. AND AGAIN, I’M I’M PROUD OF THE FACT THAT OUR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER TOOK THIS VERY SERIOUSLY, EARLY LEARNING FROM SOME OF THE TRAGEDIES THAT HAVE HAPPENED ON OTHER CAMPUSES. AND WE ALL HAVE TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. BUT CHIEF MAY WANT TO SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SPECIFICS. SO THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN WAS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY FACULTY MEMBER, AS WELL AS STUDENT OR STAFF UNDERSTOOD WHAT TO DO IN A CASE LIKE THIS, SUCH AS AN EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN OR AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. ANOTHER LAYER THAT WE’VE DONE FROM THE UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE’VE DONE A NUMBER OF SECURITY SURVEYS ACROSS CAMPUS TO FIND OUT HOW TO BETTER SECURE VARIOUS BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS. AS YOU KNOW, THE THE BUILDINGS RANGE IN AGE ON THIS CAMPUS. AND SO EACH BUILDING CAN BE VERY UNIQUE IN HOW YOU ACTUALLY LOCK IT DOWN. SO IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF UNK ASSIGNED TO THOSE VARIOUS BUILDINGS UNDERSTOOD HANDS HOW TO LOCK DOWN A CLASSROOM OR ANY TYPE OF STRUCTURE THAT THEY’RE IN, AND KNOW WHERE THE BEST PLACES ARE TO GO IN CASE OF A LOCKDOWN. SO WE’VE WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY TO TO ENSURE THAT THAT INFORMATION IS OUT THERE AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THOSE EFFORTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. LIKE I SAID, WE’LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW DAYS. BUT THANK YO
