22 Dead in Shooting Rampage At Virginia Tech
A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people and wounding another 21 before he was killed, police said.
The university said in a news release there were multiple victims. Government officials with knowledge of the case said there were seven to eight other "casualties."
The shootings happened at West Ambler Johnston, a residence hall and an engineering building, Norris Hall, on opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus.
"There has been a multiple shooting with multiple victims," the Web site reported, adding that police were searching for a possible second gunman.
Students were asked to stay in their homes away from windows.
"There's just a lot of commotion. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on," said student Jason Anthony Smith, 19, who lives in the building where shooting took place.
The initial shooting was reported at West Ambler Johnston Hall, which houses nearly 900 students.
Officials ordered the campus closed, the second time in less than a year the 26,000-student campus was shut because of a shooting.
In August 2006, the opening day of classes was canceled and the campus closed when an escaped jail inmate allegedly killed a hospital guard off campus and fled to the Tech area. A sheriff's deputy involved in the manhunt was killed on a trail just off campus.
The accused gunman, William Morva, faces capital murder charges.
