The University of Virginia issued a startling active attacker announcement on Thursday afternoon over a knife-wielding suspect.
The UVA Police Division posted to X, alerting staff and students of a white male in a red hoodie and blue sweatpants reported near 100 Emmet St S, across from Alumni Hall.
‘RUN HIDE FIGHT,’ the tweet said.
Minutes later, the school issued a shelter in place on campus.
The terrifying alert comes just two days after the university issued a shelter in place order amid a frantic search for a suspected gang member who was spotted on their grounds.
Staff and students were being urged to avoid Nyheem Hill, who was described as a 6’1, 170lb, black man wearing a gray hoodie.
Tuesday’s shelter in place was eventually lifted after police announced that Hill fled the area. He was last seen on foot near the Alderman Road dorms, according to UVA police.
He is still wanted after he allegedly fled the scene after hitting a state trooper’s vehicle following a traffic stop.
This is a breaking news story.
The shelter in place order was issued by UVA Department of Safety and Security at 9.35am on Tuesday
