Gunman Reported on Virginia Tech Campus

Officials put the school on lockdown as the spectre of the 2007 massacre looms over the campus.

A lockdown is in effect at Virginia Tech due to reports of a gunman on campus, an eerie echo of the 2007 massacre at the university that led to 33 deaths. Officials at the Blacksburg, Virginia, university say the suspect is white, around six feet tall, and appears to be alone and armed with a handgun. Students, staff, and visitors at the school are being told to lock their doors and stay inside their rooms. Thankfully, classes aren't in session right now, but still... keep the Hokies in your thoughts as this plays out.
