Email from UGA Police on a shooting that took place this evening:

TO:  UGA faculty, staff and students

FROM:  Jimmy Williamson, Chief of Police

Approximately 8:30 p.m. Monday, March 3, Athens-Clarke County Police reported a shooting in an area near the University of Georgia.  The alleged offender fled on foot in the direction of campus.  Information was provided to UGA Police in the area, who apprehended the individual without incident in the vicinty of the high-rise residence halls.  There is no reason for UGA Police to feel that anyone in the University community remains at risk for their safety due to this incident.

I received this email at 9:21pm, which is a pretty quick turn around for a shooting that took place at 8:20pm.
