2 dead in V-tech shooting. [The hell happened here?]
Two people have been killed at Virginia Tech university, leading to a manhunt and campus lockdown. A police officer was shot dead just after midday during a routine traffic stop and a dead man was found with a weapon nearby.
The dead officer, who had served with Virginia police for four years but has not yet been named, was conducting the traffic stop when witnesses saw another man approach and shoot him. Police said the gunman was not connected with the traffic stop.
Witnesses saw the shooter run in the direction of the Cage parking lot. About 45 minutes later, the police spotted a man acting suspiciously there. By the time officers approached him, he was dead from a gunshot wound. The police said they did not shoot him

"This was a traffic stop on campus," Williams said. "It was not someone walking around firing shots."
But someone got shot and the guy is now walking around with a gun, so how is it not that?
well the first guy wanted to walk around shooting people, this dude was stopped by police and is now doing it. maybe he can shout "i am not shooting because I wanted to!" or something.

Man anyone near there, stay safe please.
As I recall, someone got caught walking around with like a paintball gun or something.
that's three (?) times now
sounds like one person dead.
Reading that twitter feed is really jarring.
If only the gunman would have just gone to see the Reiki Club from 2-7, to relieve the stress of studying for finals.
edit: Dammit, @JoeUser!
This twitter will probably be the one to watch.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
Free guns.
I don't know why this keeps happening
Please let no one else be injured.
