Virginia Tech Campus Shooting
Fri 9 Dec 2011 - 19:23
A Virginia Tech police officer was among two people killed Thursday on
the school's campus, prompting a sweeping search and school-wide
lockdown that lasted over four hours.
Around 4:30 p.m., the school in Blacksburg, Virginia, announced on its twitter
feed that "law enforcement agencies have determined there is no longer
an active threat or need to secure in place. Resume normal activities."
Police said the incident started shortly after noon, when the police
officer made a traffic stop in the Coliseum parking lot near McComas
Hall. During that stop, a person who wasn't involved in the traffic stop
approached and shot the officer, authorities said.
After witnesses told police that the shooter fled toward a nearby
parking lot, an investigating officer saw a "suspicious person" alive in
that lot. When the officer circled back to approach the person -
described as a white male - that person was dead of a gunshot wound,
police said.
A Virginia state police spokesman said that police didn't shoot the
second person, and he wouldn't say whether the person was a suspect, or
whether investigators still are looking for a shooter. But he said
investigators feel "confident we located the person," and that "you can
kind of read between the lines."
The incident comes more than four years after a shooting spree in which a
Virginia Tech student, 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui, shot dead 32 people
on the campus before killing himself in April 2007.
The following are running updates on Thursday's incident:
[Updated 5:15 p.m. ET] The Virginia Tech police officer who was fatally
shot during a traffic stop in a campus parking lot shortly after 12:15
p.m. was shot by someone who wasn't involved in the traffic stop, police
said at a news conference. The shooter allegedly walked up to the
officer's vehicle and opened fire, police said.
[Updated 5:11 p.m. ET] Describing the death of the second person,
authorities at a news conference said a police officer investigating the
slain officer's death saw a "suspicious person" alive in a campus
parking lot, and when the officer circled back the approach that person -
a white male - he was dead from a gunshot wound.
Police declined to say whether that person shot himself, but a Virginia
State Police spokesman told reporters that police did not shoot him.
The state police spokesman wouldn't comment on whether the second
deceased person had been the person who killed the police officer. He
declined to say whether investigators still are looking for a shooter,
but investigators feel "confident we located the person."
"You can kind of read between the lines," he said.
The school's website noted that a weapon had been discovered near the
second person - described as an "unknown male subject who was found
deceased in a parking lot near the Duck Pond."
The school has said there is no longer a threat on campus, and that people could resume normal activities on campus.
