The university’s emergency management issued an alert Sunday night notifying the campus community of an “active attacker firearm” and warning students to shelter in place following a report of shots fired on the northern outskirts of campus. The UVA Police Department says multiple police agencies including the state police were searching for a suspect who was considered “armed and dangerous.”
Ryan says classes have been cancelled Monday.
