A University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill faculty member was killed Monday in a shooting that prompted a campuswide lockdown while officials searched for an "armed and dangerous person," university officials said.

A suspect was captured about an hour and a half after the shooting at Caudill Laboratories, and an all-clear was issued for the campus about two hours after that.

No other injuries were reported, school officials said at a briefing Monday afternoon.

Suspect in custody. That's rare!

Probably a personal dispute, and the suspect is well known to the victim.

And they didn't find the gun? Weird. Sounds like he gave himself up, so not your typical shooter (also I hate that that's a thing).

No kidding! Crazy this happens so often we can say one is atypical.
