Two people are dead after shooting incidents at Virginia Tech University, the site of one of the deadliest massacres in U.S. history.
A campus police officer was killed following a routine traffic stop shortly after noon, and a second victim was found in a nearby parking lot, the school said in a statement. There were witnesses.
The shooter fled on foot and his status is unknown, the school said.
The incident follows the April 2007 massacre, when a mentally ill student killed 32 people and wounded 25 others before committing suicide on the school's rural campus.
