Two people, including a Virginia Tech police officer, were dead after a shooting incident on Virginia Tech's campus in Blacksburg today, the university said.
A CNN report says that witnesses saw the police officer being shot during a traffic stop on campus, and the second victim was found dead at a nearby parking lot toward which the gunman had been seen fleeing. The status of the shooter was not immediately known, and the campus was on lockdown Thursday afternoon, the report said. All classes have been cancelled for the day.
