Former college student arraigned in shooting deaths of two campus officers

Police identified the gunman in Tuesday's shooting at Bridgewater College as Alexander Wyatt Campbell, 27. A spokeswoman for the small liberal arts school about 125 miles northwest of Richmond said Campbell was a student there from 2013 to 2017.

"This is a very hard time for Wyatt and his family and for the families that he has affected," she said through tears."It is not about gun control. It is not. ... It is about mental illness and how we have no control over that, the way society is right now. I can't help my son." Officers from state and local law enforcement agencies then joined the search and found the suspect off campus. He had waded into a river and was taken into custody on an island in the river, state police said. Police said multiple guns were recovered as evidence both on and off campus.
