Per the latest update - suspect is currently in the Lewis Mtn neighborhood. I appreciate UVA's prompt communication and abundance of caution. Parents should join UVA's emergency alert to receive real time text updates - info was shared at parent orientation. Students know the situation and don't seem to be afraid. There was a massive Snarty (a snow day, day party) when classes were cancelled 2 weeks ago, and this morning a student posted "Sharty (a shelter in place Darty)?"

From Fb, appears he hit a car and then fled on foot.

Prayers this ends with no loss of life.

Started as a traffic violation and suspect fled. What don’t you understand?? Give it a rest.

He is on probation for a weapons violation.

Okay. Glad to hear UVA/Charlottesville police are on top of it.

It’s called protocol, “abundance of caution” , preventing lawsuits…
