Monday, 17 August 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

Camron Harris, a 19-year-old non-student, was arrested after hiding for more than 14 hours in a dormitory closet at Virginia State University (VSU), a public university of about 5,700 students located roughly 32 kilometres south of Richmond, Virginia. Harris is suspected of shooting five people outside campus dormitories at around 1:30am on Saturday, leaving one victim in a critical condition and four others with non-life-threatening wounds. He has been charged with four counts each of malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and is being held without bond as police continue to investigate a possible motive.
