“We feel so incredibly bad for the professor’s family, friends and
colleagues. Our hearts really just go out to them,” Balafas said during a
news conference. “It’s just one of those things that sometimes you can’t even
predict."
UA students received campus alerts regarding a shooting that occurred at the
John W. Harshbarger building at the university's main campus in Tucson and
all in-person classes were canceled for the remainder of the school day.
University police blocked off the area surrounding the Harshbarger building
and instructed people to stay away from the area, which was under lockdown.
The building where the shooting occurred is just northwest of the university
bookstore and student union.
Classes will resume Thursday, according to Balafas, but the building where
the shooting happened may remain closed.
It was also 20 years ago this month that a disgruntled University of Arizona
nursing student shot and killed three nursing professors before taking his
own life.
