The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Update: the fire was at the end of the my hallway. Sounds like a stove caught fire. Luckily no one was hurt. Fire dep. flushed out the poor guy's apartment. But all's safe now, back to your normally scheduled programming
