Former NYPD Officer Stops UNC Charlotte School Shooter | NBC New York

A former NYPD officer is credited with disarming the gunman who opened fire on the University of North Carolina Charlotte on Tuesday. The shooting occurred during a class on the anthropology and philosophy of science, according to a message on what appeared to be the Twitter account of the instructor who witnessed the attack. Adam Johnson wrote that teams of students were delivering their presentations when the gunman opened fire. Student Riiley Howell died in his classroom Tuesday after charging and tackling the gunman, identified as Trystan Andrew Terrell, who opened fire with a legally obtained pistol, authorities said. It was after that that UNC Charlotte police officer Rich Gundacker disarmed the gunman. Gundacker credits his training as an NYPD Emergency Services Officer with his ability to make the stop. And on Thursday, NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill called Gundcaker and Howell heroes. The motive wasn't immediately clear for suspect Trystan Andrew Terrell, who UNC-Charlotte spokeswoman Buffy Stephens said had been enrolled at the school but withdrew during the current semester. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said Wednesday Terrell didn't appear to target any particular person but did deliberately pick the building where it happened.
