Chaos in the Quad: The Unwelcome Return of Violence to Virginia State University The sounds of gunfire that echoed through the Quad Annexes at Virginia State University on a Saturday morning were a stark reminder that even in idyllic settings, violence can strike without warning.
Five people lay wounded, one critically so, leaving behind a trail of shock and uncertainty.
The shooting occurred just as the academic year was about to begin at VSU, a historically Black university with a rich legacy of providing opportunities for African American students.
