1 dead, 1 hurt in Winston-Salem State University shooting

WINSTON-SALEM, NC (AP) — School officials say a shooting at Winston-Salem State University has left one student dead and another wounded.

The university says a suspected gunman is on the loose and visitors to the campus on Sunday are urged to stay away.

University spokesman Aaron Singleton says the slaying victim was 19-year-old Anthony White Jr., a second-year student from Charlotte.

Singleton says a second student injured in the attack was released from the hospital early Sunday. His name and condition were being withheld.

The shooting was reported around 1:20 a.m. Sunday near a dormatories. The campus was locked down for about three hours.

Singleton says police are looking for a suspect, but he would provide no other information.

The historically black school was celebrating its homecoming weekend, when former students and staff return.
