Pro-life activist Austin Beigel was at UNC on April 2 to show “large signs depicting the gruesome reality of abortion,” as part of a campaign hosted by pro-life group Created Equal. At one point, a female student approached him asking “Did y’all put these up,” according to a video posted by the group. When Beigel confirmed that he did, the woman ran up toward him and could be seen swinging her fists at him. She allegedly punched him three to four times in the face and once in the stomach, according to the video. During the attack, the woman screamed: “[expletive] terrible person.” “You’re a terrible person. You … this is not okay. This is not okay. This is not okay. Shut the [expletive] up right now. This is wrong. This is triggering. You’re not an innocent human being. You’re a terrible person,” the woman said.

She was arrested by citation and charged with non-aggravated assault, reported the Daily Caller. It is unclear whether Ward attends the university. In a May 7 Facebook post, Beigel wrote “I was recently assaulted on campus at UNC while peacefully talking to students about abortion. Violence from abortion supporters is becoming more common.” “I hope you pray for the heart of the young woman who attacked me,'” he added. Beigel told Faithwire that he decided to ask for his friends and family to pray for the woman who attacked him because it was the “attitude God has given me through his grace.” “Faith is everything to my responsiveness to situations,” Beigel told the website. “I realize that there but by the grace of God go I. And without Christ’s grace upon my heart, I am her … I am believing those ridiculous things [about abortion].” In a statement about the incident, Created Equal President Mark Harrington said, “Pro-abortion activists are losing the argument, and instead of seeking debate they are escalating the violence on peaceful preborn defenders on college campuses. We will never cave to acts of violence or intimidation. We will return hate with love for mothers and their babies,” according to Beigel’s Facebook post. Harrington also told Fox News that he thinks the violence is part of a bigger trend on college campuses. “Students being groomed on college campuses to be leaders, writers, and thinkers of the Left are increasing in censorship and violence against those with whom they disagree,” Harrington said. This video comes after Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Brian Sims filmed himself harassing a pro-life protestor for nearly nine minutes in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic, repeatedly telling her “shame on you” and ridiculing her Christian faith. He then came under fire again after he posted another video offering his Facebook followers $100 to dox teenage girls who were also outside the clinic in Center City, Philadelphia. “There’s a group of ‘Christians’ out here shaming the girls and families coming here for medical treatment!” Sims said in a caption accompanying the video. “So let’s make the most of it! I’ll donate $100 to Planned Parenthood if anyone who knows who these awful people are. Who’ll join me in that $100?—feeling furious at Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania.” Sims received backlash for his actions and there have been increasing calls demanding that he resigns.<doc-sep>The clash over abortion at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill has resulted in a second arrest. A student was arrested in early April after she snatched a sign from the hands of pro-life activists. The abortion issue, which has also divided the country, has sparked tensions on campus, with some students even resorting to violence. Last week, Fox News reported Jillian Ward, a pro-choice feminist at UNC, was arrested for punching Austin Beigel, a member of the pro-life group Created Equal. LIBERAL STUDENT ARRESTED FOR PUNCHING PRO-LIFER ON UNC CAMPUS, TRIGGERED BY IMAGES OF ABORTED CHILDREN A second student on the same campus faces larceny charges after she stole a sign that read "warning: abortion victim photos ahead" just days after the first incident. Beigel and his colleague repeatedly told her she was on camera stealing the sign. WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE When the officer asked her why she ripped it out of their hands, she responded: "This restricts women's rights."

Mark Harrington, the president of Created Equal, told Fox News students need to be taught that disagreeing with someone doesn't give them the right to break the law. “College students who interfere with our First Amendment rights by assaulting us or stealing our signs are not the victims," Harrington said. "Universities are failing to educate students on the basic American ideal of freedom of speech."

Police disarmed and apprehended the suspect in the room where pistol shots rang out, said Jeff Baker, police chief at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, crediting the officers' actions with saving lives. “This is a truly tragic day," Baker said. "It is something where everyone says ... God, I hope this doesn’t happen. But it happened.” Three of the injured were in critical condition at local hospitals and the fourth was stable, Baker said. Police on Tuesday night identified the shooter as Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, who, according to school records, was last enrolled in fall 2018. What we know:Here's what we know about the University of North Carolina at Charlotte shooting UNC Charlotte:What to know about campus The victims have not been identified, pending family notification, police said. "This is the worst day in the history of UNC Charlotte," said Chancellor Philip L. Dubois. The UNC Charlotte emergency lockdown alert interrupted the final presentation of graduate student Manal Naim. She said she thought it was a drill. “We thought they were testing the network,” she said. Authorities swept through buildings looking for students and staff sheltering in place late into the night. An alert asked students to follow officer commands and for others to stay away from campus until an all clear is given. Jennifer Bailey was waiting to reunite with her daughter, a student at the university. Her daughter, at the time, was locked in an office with 11 other students, she said. “It’s the worst feeling ... when that text comes,” she said. “I’ve never felt so helpless.” Shots were fired at a building on campus at approximately 4:40 p.m. EDT, university officials said. Tuesday marked the last day of classes before final exams set to begin Thursday. The university cancelled exams through the end of the week, Dubois said, and it was unclear when exams would resume. “We know that for many people, this will be the worst day of their lives," said Gov. Roy Cooper, who flew to Charlotte on Tuesday night after hearing news of the shooting. "Students should not have to fear for their lives on our campuses. ... This violence has to stop.” UNC Charlotte freshmen Joy Armstead, Trinity Sturlark and Exon Diaz were waiting at a strip mall Tuesday night for a shuttle bus to take them back to campus. They were leaving campus to sell clothing at a consignment store at the time of the shooting. While she has heard about shootings at other schools, Armstead said she never expected such an event at her campus. “It's just weird. It's just like a different feeling I've never felt before," she said. “I was too shocked to say anything.” Sturlark had a similar reaction: “It is hard to process,” she said. No other suspects were involved, The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted. The FBI was on the scene late Tuesday night to "provide any resource needed as the investigation continues to determine exactly what led to this tragic loss of life in our community," said John Strong, special agent in charge of FBI Charlotte. Susan B. Harden, a county commissioner and education professor at UNC Charlotte, said she talks about shootings frequently while training teachers. Still, Harden was rattled. “I’m stunned and heartbroken,” she said. “This is not what’s supposed to happen in an educational setting.” More:UNC Charlotte is latest in a string of North Carolina campus shootings To reunite students with their families, the police told people to meet in a shopping center directly across the street from campus. The campus remained closed late Tuesday, but police drove students to various buildings to retrieve their belongings. While fleeing campus, students left their cell phones and car keys in classrooms. "We are in shock to learn of an active shooter situation on the campus of UNC Charlotte," Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said on Twitter. "My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives, those injured, the entire UNCC community and the courageous first responders who sprang into action to help others." UNC Charlotte has more than 26,500 students and 3,000 faculty and staff. A free Waka Flocka Flame concert at the school's football stadium was scheduled for 6 p.m. local time, shortly after gunshots were reported.The concert was cancelled, and the rapper reported himself safe on social media.
