Charged: Trystan Terrell (pictured), 22, has been charged with two counts of murder and four of attempted murder after Tuesday's University of North Carolina shooting
The suspected University of North Carolina gunman has been described as 'quiet and standoffish' by classmates who said he was never seen at social events.
Trystan Terrell, who was charged with murder morning, is believed to be a former history major who dropped out of his studies at the Charlotte campus.
His grandfather said he had never showed any interest in guns or other weapons and said a shooting was 'not in his DNA'.
Terrell, 22, faces two charges of murder and four of attempted murder and is also accused of assault and firearms offences.
A fellow student told FOX46 News: 'He just seemed really quiet and standoffish.
'I've never seen him talk to anyone else or socializing really like the rest of the people around campus, because we're pretty close-knit.
'Everyone knows everyone pretty much and I've never seen him at events or parties or anything like that'.
The suspect's grandfather Paul Rold of Arlington, Texas, said that Terrell and his father moved to Charlotte from the Dallas area two years ago
