VSU Shooting Suspect Caught; Police Hunt More Gunmen

The arrest

A 19-year-old is in custody over the shooting that wounded five people at Virginia State University early Saturday — and police say he was not the only person who fired.

Harris is being held without bond at the Chesterfield County jail and is due in state court Monday to face four counts of malicious wounding and four counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony, the AP reported. It could not be immediately determined whether he has an attorney, and the AP said efforts to reach his family by phone were unsuccessful. Police said Harris is not a student at the university.

Police are still looking for other shooters

Authorities said Sunday they are seeking additional people who fired weapons during the shooting. Lt. James Lamb, commander of the Chesterfield County Police Department's Major Crimes Unit, said investigators are trying to determine what led to the shooting and whether the others who fired did so in self-defense or were among the aggressors. He did not say how many others fired.

Police have not released a possible motive.

Police said the victims ranged in age from 17 to 23, and only one of them — a 20-year-old man — was enrolled at VSU. All were hospitalized; one was treated and released, according to the New York Post.
