Tragic Shooting at HBCU Sparks Debate on Concealed Carry Permit Reforms

A tragic shooting at Elizabeth City State University resulted in one fatality and multiple injuries. Occurring early Sunday after the concluding Yard Fest, the incident involved six victims, including three ECSU students. The university promptly initiated a lockdown, later lifted when safety was assured. The ECSU Police, alongside local law enforcement, are investigating. This shooting follows recent violent incidents at nearby universities amid debates over firearm legislation in North Carolina, as lawmakers propose changes to concealed carry permit regulations.
