Suspect arrested after apparent shooting at UNC's flagship campus that placed students and faculty in lockdown for hours

A faculty member was shot and killed in a campus building and a suspect has been arrested after reports on Monday afternoon of shots fired at the University of North Carolina, school officials have said.

Reports earlier of an apparent shooting at UNC's flagship campus had led students and faculty to barricade themselves in dorm rooms, offices and classrooms for hours until a lockdown was lifted.
