A man was arrested Tuesday after allegedly bringing an AR-style rifle onto the campus of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, WBTV reported.

The arrest warrant identified the man as 31-year-old X’Orion Richmond and stated he was found with a Radical Firearms AR-15 on the campus, which is Charlotte’s only historically black college or university (HBCU).

Richmond was charged with possession of a gun on educational property. The warrant did not specify how or where the rifle was discovered, such as whether it was in a vehicle or elsewhere on campus.

Johnson C. Smith University has an enrollment of about 1,300 students according to the school’s website. Authorities have not released further details about the incident or any ongoing investigation.
