Meanwhile, locals shared videos of a person carrying what appeared to be a gun. HT.com cannot verify the authenticity of the visuals yet.<\/strong>
\u201cUnc Wilmington @FBI my daughter just send me this from uncw if have a family member please be safe,\u201d one parent tweeted, sharing a photo.
\u201cPlease pray for everyone at UNC Wilmington rn. Active shooter,\u201d another person added.
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington’s main campus sits along the state\u2019s southeastern coast, just a few miles from Wrightsville Beach and about 140 miles southeast of Raleigh, the state capital.
This comes days after a memorial site dedicated to Charlie Kirk on the UNC Wilmington campus became the center of controversy after students defaced a tribute and disrupted a vigil earlier this week.
On Monday evening, a candlelight vigil was held to honor Kirk\u2019s life. Video obtained by Fox News Digital captured moments of harassment directed at attendees. In one clip, a female student approached the large painted rock serving as the tribute, mockingly pretended to flatulate on it, and taunted those gathered.
Another student, appearing to be with her, defended the act by declaring, \u201cFreedom of speech.\u201d When a supporter of Kirk responded with, \u201cJesus loves you,\u201d the second woman pointed toward her sweatshirt, which appeared to carry satanic symbols.
The incident, which students say has continued with further harassment at the site in recent days, has led to calls for the university administration to take stronger action. Many have urged UNCW to ensure that memorial gatherings can proceed without intimidation, Fox News reported. <\/p>\n
