Charlotte, North Carolina (CNN) Thousands gathered on the campus of the University of North Carolina Charlotte on Wednesday, holding candles in memory of victims of a shooting. Authorities say Trystan Terrell, 22, a former student, opened fire in a campus classroom Tuesday evening, killing two people and wounding four others. Terrell intentionally targeted the Kennedy building, where the shooting took place, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said. Wearing their school colors, students formed a sea of green and streamed into the Dale F. Halton Arena to grieve together at a memorial service. Then, they filled the courtyards surrounding the arena in a show of unity, holding their candles.
