I'm currently interning at IBM in NC but I got a VT alerts about an hour ago about a possible shooting on campus. I thought nothing of it, assuming it was another fluke like the 3 adolescents who were thought to be carrying weapons. A few minutes later, I got another alert of a suspect. A little more evidence. Then another saying that a police officer was shot and another possible victim in the cage.

So here is what I know at this time:

There was a shooting near the Cassel Coliseum. One police officer has been shot and is rumored to be dead. I saw a picture of what seemed to be a body bag so you can assume this to be true. Another report of a victim near the cage (parking lot on the south east side of campus). The suspect is described as white male, gray sweat pants, gray hat w/neon green brim, maroon hoodie and backpack. I'm listening to the police scanner. He was heading towards McComas (north side) earlier. I have just heard (in last 10 seconds) of possible shots were fired near squires and johnson hall.

I'll edit as more information comes. So far, I hear of no other incidents and the police are all over campus. One of my friends heard the initial shots but other than that, none of my friends were close by and they're all fine. I'm praying for my hokies.

Unconfirmed update: Since there are many shooting at different places around campus, there are suspected to be multiple shooters. Police scanner saying there are possible shots at squires, johnson hall, and the cage nearly confirms this (though it is possible that in the time between citings that the shooter had made it over there)

Update 2: Added CNN article
