Virginia Tech put on lockdown after two people, including a police officer, were fatally shot in campus parking lots (Video)
The gunman who killed two people at Virginia Tech this afternoon, including a police officer, is still at large according to the University. The University posted a statement of the school’s website that said “Shortly after noon today, a Virginia Tech police officer stopped a vehicle on campus during a routine traffic stop in the Coliseum parking lot near McComas Hall. During the traffic stop the officer was shot and killed. There were witnesses to this shooting. 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.”
The statement added: “The status of the shooter is unknown. The campus community should continue to shelter in place and visitors should not come to campus.” Several law enforcement officers have already responded and the FBI has dispatched two officers from their Ronoke department. For now the school is in complete lockdown as police try and find the gunman who’s killed one of their own.
