Virginia Tech has issued a campus-wide lock down after information a police officer was shot and a possible second victim near the campus parking lot.

A campus-wide alert advised students and faculty to stay indoors and lock all doors. Authorities were in search of the suspect. University and law enforcement officials declined to comment on the condition of the police officer. This marks the second case since 2007’s mass shooting that took the lives of 33 people in modern U.S. history.

A law enforcement who chose to remain anonymous, stated the shooting at Virginia Tech occurred after a traffic stop.

From sightings, it is believed the suspect is a white male wearing

  • gray pants
  • a gray hat with a neon brim
  • a maroon hoodie and backpack

Ironically, the shooting comes on the same day where the school appealed a $50,000 fine by the U.S. Department of Education. The fine was in connection to the 2007 shooting where a gunman killed 32 students, faculty, and then himself.
