Camron Harris Arrested After Shooting Five People at Virginia State University

Camron Harris, a 19-year-old non-student, was arrested on Saturday after a shooting at Virginia State University left five people injured. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. along Boisseau Street, where police responded to reports of gunfire and found five victims ranging in age from 17 to 23. One victim, a 21-year-old man, remains in critical condition, while the other four sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Court documents indicate that Harris was found hiding in a dorm room closet and was subsequently charged with eight felony warrants, including malicious wounding and use of a firearm. Investigators discovered that Harris had posted an Instagram story of the campus shortly before the shooting and sent messages stating he was planning to shoot. Witnesses reported that Harris had been involved in a verbal dispute earlier in the day, which allegedly served as the motivation for the gunfire. Detectives were able to locate Harris using a phone ping and confirmed his Instagram account was his own. Harris is currently being held without bond.
