The University of North Carolina has given the “all clear” after a campus lockdown over a report of an armed person. Chapel Hill Police have arrested Mickel Deonte Harris of Durham. He is suspected of confronting an employee at Alpine Bagel Cafe in the student union and threatening the employee with a firearm. A lockdown was in place for more than an hour. Students were told to “go inside now” and avoid windows. University police report that no shots were fired. The UNC community is still recovering from the fatal shooting of a faculty member in a science building about two weeks prior.
