At Least 2 Dead in {Another} Virginia Tech Shooting

BLACKSBURG, Va. –  DEVELOPING:  Two people, including a police officer, were gunned down on Virginia Tech's campus on Thursday, according to the university.

A Virginia Tech police officer was shot shortly after noon during a traffic stop in the Coliseum parking lot near McComas Hall, a gymnasium on the 2,600-acre campus. The unidentified officer later died.

Witnesses reported to police that the shooter fled on foot toward a parking lot, where a second unidentified victim was found dead.

The whereabouts of the gunman remains unknown. The suspect, according to an earlier posting on the school's website, is described as a white male wearing gray sweatpants and a gray hat with a neon green brim.

University officials have scheduled a 4:30 p.m. media briefing.

"Several law enforcement agencies have responded to assist," read a posting on the school's website. "Virginia State Police has been requested to take lead in the investigation."

Messages seeking comment from school officials were not immediately returned.

"There is an active campus alert in Blacksburg," read a notice on the school's website. "Everyone should seek shelter or stay where you are. Blacksburg Transit service is suspended until the alert is lifted."

Reporters of subsequent gunshots heard on campus were unfounded, the university announced. Schools in nearby Montgomery County were reportedly locked down following the shooting.

Watching the media go full-tilt in their search for a "Virginia Tech II !!!" storyline is a thing to behold. They crave stories they can milk until the udders are dry.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Apparently the second body found was that of the shooter, who killed himself. Why do they have to always drag someone else down with them?

Cause they're cowards.

Can't wait to hear where he got his gun or how the MFM will spin this into a "we hate guns" rant again.

God forbid anybody allow CC on campus, could be dropping the psycho's drawn to that kill-magnet on sight.

If I were a parent no way in hell I'd let my kid go there.  If the university asks why, simple, "you don't allow my law-abiding kid to carry on your deathtrap campus"!
