The police have a suspect in custody in the attack, which left two people dead and four injured. All the victims were students.
Two people were killed and four others injured on Tuesday when a man opened fire with a handgun at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the authorities said. Here is what we know so far.
The chancellor of the university, Philip Dubois, identified the six victims in an interview on WBT radio on Wednesday. He said they were all students at the university.
He named the two who were killed as Ellis Parlier, 19, of Midland, N. C., and Riley Howell, 21, of Waynesville, N. C.
The injured, he said, were Sean Dehart, 20, and Drew Pescaro, 19, both of Apex, N. C.; Emily Haupt, 23, of Charlotte; and Rami Alramatin, 20, of Saudi Arabia.
The spellings of the students’ names are according to WBT; the university has not yet confirmed them.
Mr. Dubois said in the interview that three of the injured had surgery and were expected to recover fully, and the fourth, who was less seriously injured, had been treated and released. He did not say which was which.
Alpha Tau Omega, a leadership fraternity, released a statement identifying Mr. Pescaro as a member of its Lambda Delta chapter. The student newspaper, The Niner Times, said he was a sportswriter for the paper and reported that he was in stable condition after surgery.
