Two Dead in Shooting on Virginia Tech Campus

8th December 2011, The Lede


Matt Maranowski, who describes himself on social media sites as a Virginia Tech student, posted this video said to be of the shooting scene. The images matched images from the scene.





Two people, including a police officer, were dead after a shooting on Thursday afternoon on the campus of Virginia Tech, the scene of a 2007 massacre in which 33 people were killed, university officials said.

The shooting took place around noon, after a campus police officer made what was described as a routine traffic stop in a parking lot near McComas Hall, a gym and sports building, said Mark Owczarski, director of news and information.

During the stop, a gunman walked up to the officer and shot and killed him, officials said during a news conference on Thursday. The gunman was not the person involved in the traffic stop.

For several tense hours, police searched for the gunman. The university announced about 4:30 p.m. that there was “no longer an active threat” on campus.

Earlier in the day, witnesses reported seeing the gunman running toward a different parking lot, called the Cage, near Duck Pond Drive. At that parking lot, a man was found, also dead of a gunshot wound. Officials would not comment on whether the second person found dead was the man who shot the police officer.

Police did not identify the officer but said he was a four-year veteran of the Virginia Tech police department. State police were still investigating whether he had been specifically targeted.

“The second is an unknown male subject who was found deceased in a parking lot near the Duck Pond,” the university said in a statement. “A weapon has been recovered at the location of the second individual. Reports of any additional shots being fired or any additional victims are unfounded.”

Final Words Of Virginia Tech Massacre Killer Cho Seung-Hui





May they all Rest in Peace.

Something is very very wrong with all those sadistic kids in the US, that bully others so much, that their victims either kill themselves, or eventually go crazy and go on the rampage like this for revenge, then sometimes kill themselves.

Very sad indeed, especially for all the families concerned

The Same Gun Was Used in Virginia Tech Shootings

VA Tech officials detail deadly shooting.


Blackburg, Virginia (CNN)

Ballistics evidence testing has officially linked the two fatal shootings on the Virginia Tech campus, Virginia State Police said Friday.
Both Virginia Tech Police Officer Deriek W. Crouse and another man were shot with the same gun.

The ballistics test is part of the ongoing investigation into Thursday's double shooting on the campus of Virginia Tech that left many thinking back to the 2007 mass slaying at the university that left 33 dead.
Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger released a statement about the shooting Thursday night.

"Once again, the campus and the community that we love so well have been visited by senseless violence and tragic loss," the statement said. "Tragedy again struck Virginia Tech in a wanton act of violence where our police officer, Deriek Crouse, was murdered during a routine traffic stop."

Thursday's shooting differed from the April 16, 2007, mass killing when student Seung-Hui Cho went on a shooting rampage, but it still served as a test to the new policies the school had implemented since that tragedy.
Crouse and the man, who police believe matched the description of the gunman that shot the officer, were killed Thursday.

Officer Deriek Crouse was fatally shot during a December 8, 2011, traffic stop on the Virginia Tech campus.



The incident began about 12:15 p.m., when Crouse, a four-year Virginia Tech police veteran, pulled over someone during a routine traffic stop in the Cassell Coliseum parking lot near McComas Hall. The Cassell Coliseum at Virginia Tech houses athletic facilities. McComas Hall houses exercise facilities.

Then, before 12:30 p.m., police received their first call from a witness who said he'd seen the suspect -- who state police Sgt. Bob Carpentieri said authorities "do not believe ... was in the vehicle that was stopped" -- approach the officer's car and open fire.

The suspect ran from the area. About a quarter-mile from the first shooting, a man that appeared to be the suspect was found dead from a gunshot wound, police said.

Maj. Rick Jenkins, of the Virginia State Police, said a video camera mounted inside the slain officer's car captured footage of a man with a weapon who matched the description of the man they found dead.

CNN affiliate WCAV, citing state police, said the man killed himself. The man's name has not been released by police.

Campus officials put out six alerts to students and faculty about the shooting.

On Thursday, law enforcement and school officials said the alert system put in place in recent years worked well, both from technological and communications standpoints.

"What I observed and experienced was significant cooperation from everybody I encountered," Deisinger said of what he saw, on campus, after the alerts went out. "I think the community received the notification and responded to that, as we asked them to."

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, whose daughter goes to Virginia Tech, lauded the communications effort.
MCDonnell says his daughter was confined to a basement classroom during the four-hour episode.

"Like so many parents who had children on the Virginia Tech campus, I felt a lot of that angst and uncertainty," he said. "Again, I want to express my gratitude to law enforcement for making sure that they kept the faculty (and) parents regularly informed."
Several Virginia Tech administrators -- including the head of campus police, Wendell Flinchum, and the emergency management director, Michael Mulhare -- were in Washington on Thursday at a federal court hearing on the 2007 shooting on the school's campus, according to U.S. Department of Education officials.

Crouse, 39, joined the Virginia Tech police force six months after the 2007 mass shooting, according to a release on the school's website. A U.S. Army veteran who had worked at the New River Valley jail and with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, the Christiansburg resident is survived by his wife as well as five children and stepchildren.

A small vigil was held Thursday night on the Blacksburg campus, and a similar event is scheduled for for 6:30 p.m. Friday, according to a student government association group.
