There has been another VA Tech shooting today. 2 have been killed. The news reports that VA Tech was very proactive and that students were given information immediately. The shooter is still at large. It is unknown if he is pinned down or roaming.
Stay tuned.
ATF, State Police, FBI are all involved. The VA State Police has taken over the investigation.
The students are complaining that it is taking too long to apprehend the shooter. They are in lock down. Come on kids. Be glad it wasn’t you shot. They do not know the identification of the shooter. No classes are in session. Today is what is known as reading day. Tomorrow begins final exams.
My nephew is at Tech. I am not worried. Too ornery. His father wanted to ship him back at Thanksgiving.
VT alert sytsems are amazing now. All VT computers give an alert, sirens sound, text messaging, etc.
Well crap. I have 2 nephews under lock down. Not sure if the Radford one was visiting the tech one or if Radford is under lockdown also.
My brother was brief.
My brother just texted me that they think this whole incident might have started over at Radford. The other twin nephew is there. He is under lockdown also.
According to the press conference, the dead police officer was a 4 year veteran of the force and was male. Lots of misinformation floating around. The second person found dead has not been confirmed to the public as the shooter.
They are just calling this a safe situation as far as the campus goes. the lock down is over.
Is it something in the water down there?
Add in down the other side of Spotsy the State Patrolman and one other person also shot today.
How is that officer doing? Caroline County I think.
The one shot at tech had 6 kids. Now they have no father. That isn’t how you expect your day to end when you are a campus policeman. It always seemed like a fairly safe job until yesterday.
