A shooting at Virginia State University (VSU) has left five people injured, with one in critical condition, according to the BBC (BBC, 2026).

The university, which is one of the country’s historically black colleges and universities, has a “significant” law enforcement presence on site, with Chesterfield County Police leading the investigation.

Key Facts

  • Five individuals were taken to local hospitals with gunshot wounds, with four having non-life-threatening injuries (BBC, 2026)

According to Lamb, “We don’t have anybody in custody” and “We know there was more than one shooter, so I would say the suspects are still at large” (BBC, 2026).
