GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) – School officials and authorities say a 20-year-old former community college student killed a campus print shop director that he used to work under.

Wayne County Sheriff Larry Pierce said Monday that authorities are pursuing the suspect, Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, on an open count of murder.

Authorities and officials say Stancil walked into a Wayne Community College building with a rifle Monday morning and killed Ron Lane. Stancil had worked for Lane in the print shop in a work-study program at the college.

Stancil was a third-year student at the college but it wasn’t immediately clear when he last attended. He wasn’t currently a student.

Authorities do not believe he is still on campus. They say the scope of their manhunt is currently inside the state of North Carolina.
