FOR 14 HOURS AFTER GUNFIRE ERUPTED AT VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY, POLICE SEARCHED FOR A SUSPECT — THEN THEY FOUND HIM HIDING IN THE LAST PLACE STUDENTS WOULD EXPECT 🚨 The shooting broke out near campus housing in the middle of the night, leaving five people wounded and forcing Virginia State University into lockdown as officers flooded the area.
