US: 2 campus police officers killed in Virginia college; suspect in custody

A gunman shot and killed two campus officials at a private university on Tuesday, leading to a lengthy campus cordon and search before the suspect was arrested, state police and school officials said.

The lockdown began in the early afternoon, when Bridgewater College officials posted a tweet early in the afternoon warning students and staff to watch out for gunmen on campus.

The academy posted a follow-up tweet around 2 p.m. It said police arrested a suspect after searching the campus, but students should continue to shelter in place.

A news photographer captured the arrest of the apparent suspect, who was lying face down on the ground when more than half a dozen law enforcement officers approached with guns. The college lifted the alarm around 4.30pm.

It is unclear what caused the shooting. No other injuries were reported.

A statement from school principal David W. Bushman identified the two officers as campus police officer John Painter and campus security officer J.J. Jefferson. The campus is mourning the loss of a well-known and beloved officer, he said. The statement called the couple a “dynamic duo,” noting that the painter was best man at Jefferson’s wedding this year.

“Two members of Bridgewater College were rudely taken from us. The grief is palpable. Words are not enough to express the grief, the grief, the fear and – justifiably – the anger we all feel,” Bushman added.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin ordered flags to be flown at half-staff across the state on Wednesday in honor of officials.

“My heart breaks tonight at the tragic loss of two officers at Bridgewater College today… The First Lady and I ask Virginians to keep their families, friends and the Bridgewater community alive during this difficult time. In your thoughts and prayers,” he said in a statement.

Bridgewater College is a private liberal arts college located approximately 125 miles (200 kilometers) northwest of Richmond. Historically affiliated with the Brethren, the school will enroll about 1,500 full-time students through fall 2021, according to its website.

The report states that Game Changer has now crossed the ₹110 crore mark at the box office. It minted ₹5.55 crore on its first Wednesday, which is the lowest for the film so far. The film had seen a slight growth on its fifth day of release, with ₹10 crore net. The overall collections now stand at ₹112.26 crore.

Game Changer minted ₹51 crore on its opening day, and saw a dip in collections on its second day with ₹21.6 crore. Day three collections were at ₹15.9 crore whereas day four net was ₹7.65 crore. The film saw a sharp decline in its weekdays and is yet to recover. Game Changer is facing stiff competition from a number of releases, which includes Nandamuri Balakrisha’s Daaku Maharaj, Unni Mukundan’s Marco and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule.

More details

Amid box office concerns for the film, a pirated version of Game Changer was allegedly aired on a local TV channel and shown in buses. Screenshots of the same surfaced on X, which caught the attention of producer Sreenivas Kumar. He took to his X account to demand strict action on it.

A few days ago, the makers of the film had filed a complaint against individuals for allegedly leaking a pirated version of the film online. The complaint also states that before the film’s release, the producers and a few team members were threatened through social media and messaging platforms like WhatsApp, wherein the same alleged pirates demanded money from producers and threatened to leak the pirated version if their demands were not fulfilled.

Game Changer is directed by Shankar and stars Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, and SJ Suryah. The film has also been released in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
