At 2:08 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Bridgewater College tweeted that an individual had been apprehended by police.

A bystander video, recorded by David W. Yarber from his driveway, appears to show a tense interaction between police and the alleged shooter as he was being detained.

As the officers were closing in on the suspect, one of them could be heard on the video shouting, "Show me your hands! Show me your hands!" Moments later, that same officer shouts "Hands up!" a couple of times, followed by "Walk backwards!"

The suspect is then seen with his hands in the air and walking backwards toward the authorities. When he gets within about 30 feet, the officer tells him to slowly turn around. then lie on the ground. Within seconds of the suspect lying down, officers with weapons drawn approach the suspect as a group and take him into custody.
