A student at NC A&T was arrested for shooting in a freshman dorm.

The peaceful atmosphere at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University was disrupted on Sunday, April 14 around 11:30 p.m. when gunshots were heard inside one of the freshman residence halls. The university's police department immediately launched an investigation into the alleged incident, taking the safety of their students as their top priority.

Local news station WFMY News 2 reported that a single shot was fired on the second floor of Barbee Hall, but thankfully, no one was injured. The university quickly notified its students through their AggieAlert system, urging them to stay away from the scene as the police worked to resolve the situation.

According to Fox 8, the alert read, "UPD is investigating shots fired inside of Barbee Hall. No injuries were reported and UPD was on scene. Stay clear of the scene." As the university police continued their investigation, students were asked to come forward with any information they may have through the campus emergency hotline.

Thankfully, the situation was resolved shortly before 1:00 a.m. with another alert that read, "ALL CLEAR!! UPD has cleared the scene at this time. If you have any additional information, contact campus police at 336-334-7675." The university also issued a statement on social media, reminding students that weapons are strictly prohibited on campus and encouraging them to speak up if they see anything suspicious.

The shooting was allegedly a result of a heated argument between two individuals, 18-year-old Nicholas Nasir McCall and his girlfriend, 19-year-old Jaila Chancel Gibson. It is worth noting that Gibson is not a student at the university. Both McCall and Gibson were taken into custody and charged with felony possession of a weapon on educational property.

Additionally, McCall is facing charges of simple possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and molestation of a fire device. Gibson, on the other hand, was charged with felony firing of a weapon into an occupied dwelling. Local news station WXII 12 reported that the two individuals are currently being held at the Greensboro Detention Center, with McCall's bond set at $1,000 and Gibson being held without bond.

This incident is a reminder that safety should always be a top priority, especially on a college campus. It comes just five months after a shooting at Morgan State University during their homecoming celebration, which left four students injured. As a community, it is important to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Let us all work together to create a safe and secure environment for everyone.
