Shots fired at Virginia Tech!

Virginia Tech says shots fired on campus - Yahoo! News

reports of officer down, and another civilian injured

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Tech says gunshots have been reported on campus, and authorities are seeking a suspect.

The campus-wide alert at 12:36 p.m. said: "Gun shots reported- Coliseum Parking lot. Stay Inside. Secure doors. Emergency personnel responding. Call 911 for help."

The suspect is described as white male wearing gray sweat pants, gray hat with neon green brim, maroon hoodie and backpack.

A message left with the university wasn't immediately returned. Campus police referred all questions to the university.

A student gunman killed 32 students and faculty and then shot himself on the campus in 2007.

AGAIN?!

(Sorry, first thought in my mind.)

Hopefully the officer and civilian are alright. Hopefully they find the suspect before anyone else gets hurt.

What is up with that campus? Why more often there than other places or it just makes headlines when it is VT because of 2007? My daugher lives in Va and used to live close to the campus.

That school is cursed. It's the curse of the Vick family. He and his family have cursed that school.

Seriously though... that school has a lot of negative news around it the last 10 years.

Sounds like this was a traffic stop gone wrong in which the gunman fled through campus, not a rampage like the last shooting.

The officer was shot and killed during the traffic stop.

Witnesses told police the shooter ran toward a parking lot on campus. A second person was found dead in that parking lot.
What the ****, I hope someone has a gun on campus and blows that ****er down.

Yeah it still sucks that the campus has to go through this again...and the shooter is still on the loose, probably still not near the campus though

Sounds like the shooter shot himself. Think he's the second body.
