Teen arrested for shooting 5 people at Virginia State University found in dorm closet

ETTRICK, Va. — A Henrico teenager found hiding in a dorm closet was arrested more than 14 hours after five people were shot on Virginia State University's campus early Saturday morning, according to authorities.

Camron Harris, 19, was discovered in Seward Hall on the VSU campus at 4 p.m. and taken into custody, Lt. James Lamb with Chesterfield Police said.

Harris, who is not a student at the university, was taken to the Chesterfield County Jail, where police obtained eight felony warrants — four counts of malicious wounding and four counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He is being held without bond. Additional charges may be sought.

Officers were called to the 3300 block of Boisseau Street at 1:30 a.m. for a report of a shooting, Lamb said.

When police arrived, they found five people suffering from gunshot wounds outside VSU dormitories near the Quad Annexes.

All five victims were taken to nearby hospitals. One who initially had life-threatening injuries was upgraded to critical condition. The remaining four were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett the injuries appeared to be graze wounds.

Police released information about the five victims, whose names are not being disclosed, Saturday evening.

A 21-year-old man, who is not a VSU student, is in critical condition. A 23-year-old man, a 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy, who are also not students, had non-life-threatening injuries.

VSU officials confirmed that the student victim, a 20-year-old man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and has been released from the hospital.

The campus-wide lockdown was lifted around 8:20 a.m. after university officials said "law enforcement does not believe there is an immediate threat to the VSU campus community."

Lt. Lamb said the investigation drew significant resources.

"A significant law enforcement presence remains on campus as investigators process the scene. Virginia State University Police, ATF, and the Hanover County Sheriff's Office are assisting with the ongoing investigation," Lamb said.

Students were told to check their VSU email for safety measure updates and available support resources. VSU Police will maintain an increased presence on campus as the investigation continues.

Classes are set to begin at the Historically Black University on Monday. The school welcomed nearly 1,500 new students with a special pinning ceremony Friday morning, featuring NFL MVP Cam Newton as the guest speaker.
