Two students dead, 1 shot at Arkansas University http://www.privateofficer.com
Conway ARK OCT 28 2008
Police are questioning two suspects after a shooting yesterday on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway left two students dead and a third person injured. Two other suspects remain at large.
“Our campus is safe,” UCA Interim President Tom Courtway said at a televised news conference today. Classes will resume tomorrow, he said.
Gunshots were reported at about 9:19 p.m. local time outside the Arkansas Hall dormitory, Lieutenant Rhonda Swindle, a spokeswoman for the campus police, said at a televised news conference. One victim was pronounced dead at the scene and another died later at Conway Regional Medical Center, the university said. The two were identified as Ryan Henderson, 18, of Little Rock, and Charvares Block, 19, of Dermott.
Another victim, Martrevis Norman, of Blytheville, who isn’t a student, was injured in the incident and has been released from the hospital, Swindle said.
“We have four suspects,” she said. Two of them are in custody and are being interviewed. “We feel certain that we have all four identified,” and the campus is now safe, Swindle said.
The four suspects aren’t students at UCA, the lead investigator in the case, Lieutenant Preston Grumbles of the University’s campus police force, said in a statement.
Lockdown Ordered
The shots were heard by an officer, who was on the scene immediately, Swindle said. Officers stopped a suspect vehicle about three minutes later. Residence halls were locked down immediately, and police sent out an e-mail alert to notify students. Officers were posted to the university’s entry points.
The University of Central Arkansas is the state’s second- largest college, with 13,000 students. Conway is 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of the state capital, Little Rock.
The investigation is a joint effort involving both the Conway Police Department and campus police.
U.S. university campuses have reassessed their security since April 2007, when a student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University killed 32 students and teachers before committing suicide in the deadliest shooting rampage in the country’s history.
