Fights Prompt Lockdown of Virginia State Campus

A lockdown imposed at Virginia State University following an outbreak of fights has been lifted.

The lockdown ended at 7 a.m. Thursday and classes will operate normally.

University spokesman Tom Reed tells media outlets that one person was stabbed during the first fight Wednesday evening near a basketball court. The victim was taken to a local hospital with a non-life threatening injury.

Reed says several other fights then occurred around the campus.

No arrests have been made. Campus and Chesterfield County police are investigating.
