Radford lock down is lifted early Friday morning. Police declare campus secure after yesterday's Radford shooting.
RADFORD – The Radford University Police Department lifted the Shelter In Place order at 2:55 a.m. Friday, five hours after an off-campus shooting that resulted in the death of the victim. The campus is secure and Radford University will now return to normal operations.
Neither the victim nor the shooting suspect are believed to be Radford University students and the incident is not being treated as a random act of violence.
According to Radford City Police, the incident began shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday with a shooting on the 500 block of Calhoun Street. The shooting suspect was seen fleeing toward RU's campus, which prompted the precautionary measures and communications. Tactical teams from RUPD, RPD and surrounding jurisdictions performed a building-by-building sweep of the RU campus.
The lifting of the Shelter In Place order was made in consultation with Radford University Police Chief Colleen Roberts and Radford City Police Chief Don Goodman.
