Tis what happens when you have PRO-GUN radicals.
Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski said a campus police officer stopped a vehicle shortly after noon today in the school's Coliseum parking lot, near McComas Hall.
"During the traffic stop, the officer was shot and killed. There were witnesses to this shooting," Owczarski said in the statement.
Freshman Juliette Fielding came upon the officer's shooting moments after the gunman fled and while warning sirens blared across the campus.
"I was coming out of the gym and just walking on the sidewalk to go home to my dorm. I saw the police car sitting there and I thought it was responding to a call here," Fielding said.
She walked towards the car, thinking she could go around it before other police cars arrived.
"The police pulled up and they opened his car door and as soon as they opened it, he just fell out towards the ground," Fielding said through tears. She said the officer's face was covered in blood and the other cops immediately began efforts to revive him.
When the other officers started yelling his name to try to get him to wake up, that's when it really hit me," she said. "As soon as I saw his face, I just started crying."
Fielding said that two officers ran off with "really big" weapons and started running in the direction after the gunman as the shot officer lay on the ground.
"I guess the officer didn't make it because they just covered him with the sheets," Fielding said.
"As soon as I saw his face, I just started crying," she said.
Owczarski said the officer was the first person to be shot.
"Witnesses reported to police the shooter fled on foot heading toward the Cage, a parking lot near Duck Pond Drive. At that parking lot, a second person was found. That person is also deceased," he said.
The school is saying that the suspect is a white male wearing a gray sweatpants, a gray hat with a neon green brim, a maroon hoodie and a backpack. abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-tech-locked-shot-dead-including-police-officer/story?id=15114257
