Officials at Virginia Tech have confirmed there is a gunman on campus and that at least one police officer has been shot. The school sent out alerts via their Twitter account, reporting shots being fired at the coliseum parking lot and that people should remain inside.
Aside from the police officer, there is a potential second victim being reported injured at the Cage lot. The suspect is “described as a white male wearing gray sweat pants, gray hat with neon green brim, maroon hoodie and backpack.”
Here’s hoping this person gets caught and fast! Please everyone stay safe!
