A gunman was arrested near the University of North Carolina on Monday after the school was placed on lockdown and one person was believed to be killed, according to a report.

The school was locked down Monday afternoon as officials warned of an armed suspect roaming around campus. Students and staff fled inside and stayed away from windows during the scary situation a week after classes began at the Chapel Hill campus.

A school-wide alert said there was an “armed, dangerous person on or near campus.”

One staff member was killed in the shooting, sources told WRAL.

After the first alert was blasted out around 1 p.m., a man was arrested in connection to the situation around 3:15 p.m. The person of interest was identified as Tailei Qi, the station reported.

Images from the outlet showed a man placed in handcuffs sitting on a curb in front of a driveway in a residential area and also being put inside a police car.
