CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- Campus safety and security was a big focus of the press briefing at UNC Charlotte.

Officials say while they did respond quickly there are still things to learn from.

UNC Charlotte police chief Jeff Baker says his officers are trained to run towards the gunfire, which is why officers had such a quick response one week ago.

But they continue to credit Riley Howell, who police say tackled the accused shooter to save the lives of his classmates.

While we know campus officers go through active shooter training, faculty and staff are also going through “basic” active shooter training that may become mandatory for school leaders.

But the concern now is with the open campus, what other training can they do to make sure everyone feels safe when they come to get an education?

 “We are going to be looking at everything and our initial response of the incident, to include our preparedness activities, our training, no rock will be left unturned and looking at how we can continue to prepare, respond, and recover from these types of incidents,” said Chris Gonyar said Director of the Office of Emergency Management in the Safety & Security Division.

Graduation ceremonies get underway Friday evening and continue with two ceremonies Saturday.

Honorary degrees for the two victims, Riley Howell and Ellis Parlier, are expected to be conferred, but the university is still working to coordinate the final plans for this weekend.
