The names of the faculty member and the suspect were not immediately released. It was too early to know a motive for the shooting, UNC Police Chief Brian James said Monday evening. A witness on campus told CNN they were locked down in their building and saw armed officers searching campus. Video from CNN affiliate WRAL in Chapel Hill showed a large number of police vehicles at the campus with their lights flashing. The university has a student body population of about 32,000, along with more than 4,000 faculty and 9,000 staff members.
