At present it's still developing. Their website is telling people to stay inside and call the police.

    I thought this said "V-TEC Scooter" and I was all set to make Civic jokes.

    I can't get the link to load, but that may be due to my work's connection.

    Edit: Oh now you've changed the thread title Anjin. Now I look like a jerk.

    The dude on reddit claims to have been moved to a secure room by staff? Hopefully they're slightly better prepared for this. Good luck to all of them :[

    Well if it's already known he's there then hopefully he can't do much damage... right? At least that's what I can hope. Best case scenario is it isn't even someone with a gun at all and just a misunderstanding.

  • DrZiplockDrZiplock Registered User regular
    On one hand, it's Virginia. Concealed carry and even open carry is not uncommon at all.

    Hopefully it's just a guy walking around minding his own business. Stupid to be doing it on the campus, but still.

    On the other...VTech has obviously had issues before.

  • TankHammerTankHammer Atlanta Ghostbuster Atlanta, GARegistered User regular
    I'm completely prepared for this to turn into just some dude open-carrying on campus like an idiot and not actively threatening anyone. This is just wishful thinking because that sort of situation can end without bloodshed.

  • GatsbyGatsby Registered User regular
    Holy crap, I hope they're able to restrain him soon.

    The first report was put up on Vtecs site an hour ago.

    Wasn't there another shooting a V-Tech a short while back?

    That sucks

  • Calamity JaneCalamity Jane That Wrong Love Registered User regular
    A short time after issuing its original alert, Virginia Tech said that at 9:09 a.m., three juveniles attending a camp at the university reported seeing a white male outside of New Residence Hall East holding what may have been a handgun. The three said the weapon was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort.

    The male was described as 6 feet tall with light brown hair and no facial hair or glasses and wearing a blue and white-striped shirt, gray shorts and brown sandals.

    He reportedly was walking fast in the direction of the volleyball courts.

    Officers responded immediately to the area but found no one matching the description. Police have encountered no other witnesses reporting this individual or anything suspicious.

    Law enforcement officers from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County were patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject

    I'm thinking (and hoping) false alarm. Maybe some awful prank. Really, hoping for anything but another shootout.

    Gimme stuff. Please. And I don't just mean my Secret Satan.
  • Sars_BoySars_Boy Rest, You Are The Lightning. Registered User regular
    yeah that description sounds like it could even be a hoax.

    Yeah, this sounds like a false alarm. Obviously they should still take it seriously.

    So, is this a dig at a traditionally black university or?

    I'm glad this is turning out to be nothing.

    I was in indianapolis over the weekend with some friends and we were out at a mcdonalds around midnight and some guy had a pistol in a holster. So I texted my friend who was back at the apartment "oh shit somebody here has a gun"... Realized what that sounded like and texted him again a minute later to say it was okay.

    I was still uncomfortable though and had my friends leave the restaurant.
