Two school safety officers were shot at Bridgewater College in Virginia on Tuesday after the university reported an “active shooter” on campus, police said.
The victims — described as a campus law-enforcement officer and a campus safety officer — were shot around 1:20 p.m., before a single male suspect was taken into custody approximately 35 minutes later, Virginia State Police said.
The agency told The Post it wasn’t immediately releasing the officers’ conditions.
“We looked out the window and we saw that two officers were down,” Alex Hulleman, a student who was on campus during the shooting, told the local Daily News-Record.
Hulleman said he was in a classroom with about 20 other students when they heard “a bunch of shots” and immediately hit the floor.
“We heard some moaning, we heard some people talking, a couple of people barricaded the door, we stayed there for a while,” said Hulleman, 21.
Bridgewater College, a private liberal arts school about an hour northwest of Charlottesville, told students to “shelter in place” around 1:25 p.m. and wrote on Twitter, “This is not a test.”
About 40 minutes after the incident was reported on the college’s Twitter account, the school notified students that an individual had been taken into custody.
“For additional safety purposes, law enforcement officials will be moving through buildings. Do not be alarmed. listen to officers’ instructions,” the school wrote about 20 minutes later.
An image taken by the local Daily News-Record showed 10 officers pointing their guns at one point at a shirtless man face-down on the ground. It wasn’t clear if the man was the suspect.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wrote on Twitter that he is monitoring the situation.
