Suspect in professor's shooting at North Carolina university

Suspect in professor's shooting at North Carolina university bought gun, went to range, warrants say

Some federal search warrants have revealed new details about a shooting in August on the University of North Carolina's flagship campus that left a professor dead. The warrants state the graduate student charged in the shooting bought a pistol and also visited a gun range the day before Zijie Yan was killed inside a laboratory building at UNC-Chapel Hill. Tailei Qi was charged with murder and a gun-possession count but has been found unfit for trial due to likely schizophrenia. The shooting resulted in an hourslong campus lockdown and police manhunt that frightened students and faculty.
