1 person dead after shooting at North Carolina community college

Authorities were searching for a person of interest Monday after a North Carolina community college employee was shot and killed on campus.

Wayne Community College, in Goldsboro, was placed on lockdown after the shooting.

Maj. Tom Effler of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office announced that Kenneth Stancil — a bald, white male with a tattoo over his left eye — is considered a person of interest. Stancil was last seen wearing a blue shirt and light-colored pants, and is no longer believed to be on campus.

Stancil is or at one point was a student at the college, the Goldsboro News-Argus reports.

“There has been one fatality, and there is one shooter,” said Kim Best, spokeswoman for the city of Goldsboro.

Authorities identified the victim as Ron Lane, a long-time employee who worked in the print shop in the college.
