This from the VT home page: Update to VT Alerts At 9:09 a.m. three juveniles attending a camp at the university reported seeing a white male, 6 feet tall, with light brown hair outside of New Residence Hall East holding what may have been a handgun. They say the weapon was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort. He was walking fast in the direction of the volleyball courts. He was wearing a blue and white striped shirt (stripes were vertical), gray shorts and brown sandals. The subject had no facial hair or glasses. 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 VTPD, Blacksburg PD, Christiansburg PD, Virginia State Police, and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office are patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject. If anyone sees anything suspicious contact the VT Police Department at 231-6411 or 911 Campus individuals should remain indoors. So that was over 90 minutes ago, and we still haven't heard any really bad news. They are still in lockdown, though.

LeviF Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Let's hope there is no bad news. Another shootout would be devastating to that school and community. Doesn't look like there's going to be any. Latest update from VT home page: (11:51 a.m.) Update VT Police in conjunction with four other police departments continue to search the campus for the person reportedly with a weapon. There have been no other sightings. We have no further information to report. We ask people to remain secured indoors.
BuffaloBill Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 This is likely a very sick prank ..... Let's hope it is a false alarm and no one is put in harms way.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 It is not possible that there is a man with a gun on campus. It is a gun free zone.
