One person, a UNC faculty member, has died in the shooting.

One person was taken into police custody as of 3:15 p.m.

Police at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are responding to an “armed and dangerous person on or near campus,” according to an alert from the university on Monday.

“Remain sheltered in place. This is an ongoing situation. Suspect at large,” the university said in an alert sent just before 2:30 p.m., about 90 minutes after the first alert was sent.

According to the student paper The Daily Tar Heel, at least one person has been wounded.

University police are advising students, faculty and staff to:

Go inside immediately. Close windows and doors. Stay until further notice. Follow directions from emergency responders or University officials.
