One Dead, 3 Injured in Winston-Salem State University Shootings

One person was killed and three others wounded in shootings on Winston-Salem State University’s campus Saturday night shortly before 10 p.m.

WXII reported that police received a call about a shooting at 9:45 p.m. They discovered there were actually two different shootings but details of either one have yet to be released.

WBAL-TV noted the institution was placed on lockdown then “police allowed students to walk to their dorms on campus” at 1:25 a.m. Sunday. The condition of the three wounded individuals has not been released.

HBCU Gameday pointed out that shootings occurred on Winston-Salem State University’s homecoming weekend, which featured “a football matchup against rival Fayetteville State University at Bowman Gray Stadium.”

Police have not said whether the person or persons responsible for the shooting have ties to the school nor have they said anything to identify the deceased or wounded persons.
