BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Two people, including a campus police officer, were
shot dead Thursday at Virginia Tech, where 33 people were killed in 2007
in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, a university
spokesman said.

Officials warned everyone to seek shelter while an armed suspect was at
large on the campus.

The officer was shot during a traffic stop, Virginia Tech spokesman Mark
Owczarski told NBC News.

"Witnesses reported to police the shooter fled on foot heading toward
the Cage, a parking lot near Duck Pond Drive. At that parking lot, a
second person was found. That person is also deceased, Owczarski said.

A Virginia Tech alert described the suspected shooter as a white male
wearing gray sweat pants, a gray hat with a neon green brim and a maroon
hoodie, and carrying a backpack.

The Virginia Tech alert posted on the school's website said the suspect
was last seen walking toward McComas Hall, which is the main gym on
campus, about two blocks from Lane Stadium.

The shooting came the same day as Virginia Tech was appealing a $55,000
fine by the U.S. Education Department in connection with the
university's response to the 2007 rampage.

In the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, 33 people, including the
mentally ill gunman, were killed on the Virginia Tech campus on April
16, 2007. The massacre in a classroom building began at 9:40 a.m. when
Seung-Hui Cho chained the doors and killed dozens before committing
suicide.
Probably a liberal willing to sacrifice other Americans to generate anti
Firearms Owners hysteria.
Too bad the Victims weren't able to shoot back. There is great
reluctance and hesitation to engage or shoot back at a perp because the
Victim is usually subjected to persecution and prosecution.
My sympathy to the Victims Families.
