Two lockdowns in 16 days leave students and others anxious and angry

After Professor Zijie Yan was shot, UNC’s campus went on lockdown for several hours until the suspect was arrested.

Then, this week – 16 days after the shooting – the campus was ordered into lockdown again, when a man allegedly pulled out a gun in the student union. Nobody was hurt, and no shots were fired in that case.

All this has come amid the regular stress of starting a school year – new students arriving on campus, people getting to know their dormmates and getting used to their classes. We talked with students and others about what they’re feeling.
