#UPDATE: A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the shooting at Virginia State University that injured five people early Saturday, Aug. 15. Police identified the suspect as Camron Harris of Henrico County. Investigators say Harris, who is not a VSU student, was found hiding in a closet inside Seward Hall on campus about 14 hours after the shooting. 

He is being held without bond and faces four counts of malicious wounding and four counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. near the university’s dormitories, shortly after an orientation event. Five people, ages 17 to 23, were shot. 

A 21-year-old man remains in critical condition, while the other victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The 20-year-old VSU student who was wounded has since been released from the hospital. 

Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting and are looking into additional people who may have fired weapons, including whether any of those individuals acted in self-defense. Authorities have not announced a motive. 

VSU has also announced tighter campus-access procedures following the shooting. Beginning with the new school year, students, faculty, staff and contractors are required to enter through the South Gate, according to the university’s updated security protocols. The investigation remains active.
