Official: UNC Fatal Shooting Press Conference - Questions on Timeline, UNC Response, & Evidence

Tailei Qi, a 34-year-old doctoral student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was taken into custody on Monday afternoon in connection with the fatal shooting of a UNC faculty member. Qi, a second-year doctoral student in applied physical sciences, was apprehended on Williams Circle about two miles north of campus at 2:40 p.m. Police surrounded Qi. He sat on a road in front of a driveway in handcuffs before being escorted to a waiting patrol car. Qi was not immediately formally charged, but he is being held in the Orange County Detention Center. On Tuesday, Qi made his first court appearance. An interpreter helped him understand the proceedings. Judge Sherri Murrell read Qi the charges he was facing, including possession of a weapon on educational property and first-degree murder. A public defender will represent Qi. He has no bond and his next hearing was set for Sept. 18, but the date is subject to change depending on the status of the grand jury. Orange County District Attorney Jeff Nieman said the gun used in the shooting, a 9 mm pistol, has yet to be found. Nieman said he won't pursue the death penalty in the case, making the maximum possible punishment a sentence of life in prison.
