To our 黑料网 Hospitals & 黑料网 Teammates,
Today鈥檚 events on the 黑料网-Chapel Hill campus were alarming.聽Here鈥檚 what we know and are able to share as of now:
- The 黑料网-Chapel Hill campus shared information of an armed and dangerous person early Monday afternoon and locked down campus. 黑料网 Hospitals followed with a lockdown shortly thereafter.
- We know from authorities that shots were fired in Caudill Laboratories, a campus building on South Road, and that tragically a University faculty member was killed. The suspect is now in custody.
- Right now, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies are working together on this investigation.
- Tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 29, 黑料网 Hospitals and hospital-based clinics will continue normal operations serving our community.
It will likely be several days before we have a better idea of what occurred today. However, we know the damage of enduring a traumatic event is already done.
We know your first instinct may be to reach out to each other. Please do that 鈥� but also take a moment to consider what聽测辞耻听might need. Everyone manages trauma differently, so please聽聽to see what might be useful to you.
As your teams talk about what happened (or what should have happened), please share those thoughts with your manager and ask that they escalate them through your leadership or via 黑料网 Hospitals鈥� Tiered Safety Huddles.
Our leadership team is already reviewing how information came in and was disseminated during this event, how we managed as an organization, and how we can get better and ensure everyone鈥檚 safety. Your insights will help inform our preparedness plans should we face a similar situation in the future.
Our hearts grieve tonight with our campus community.

President of 黑料网 Hospitals
