Virginia Tech has announced that there is no longer the threat of danger on campus and standard activities can now resume after 2 people (counting a police officer) were shot and killed on Virginia Tech's university grounds on Thursday.

As of late, officials would not validate reports that the second victim in the shooting was in fact the gunman. An unnamed Virginia Tech police officer was shot mid noon at a traffic stop in the Coliseum parking lot in close proximity to McComas Hall, a gymnasium on the 2,600-acre campus.

A witness reportedly saw a third party suspect move toward the officer, fire a weapon and then flee the scene. The officer later died.

Officials said that they don't consider the suspect to be aboard the vehicle involved in the traffic stop incident, or related to it in any way. All this is information stated by Dr. Gene Deisinger Deputy Chief Officer of Virginia Tech Police Department said in a press conference

Witnesses gave accounts to police that the shooter fled on foot toward a parking lot, where a second undisclosed victim was found dead.

Students on campus were planned to take part in a reading day, as final exams were scheduled to begin the next day.

Virginia Tech academic leadership at this time is in the process of trying to coordinate a new exam schedule, Larry Hinker, Associate Vice President of Communications at Virginia Tech said; though it must be said that that is the least of their worries right now.

The university is reportedly setting up counseling and support for students, faculty and families that may be in need for the services.

Due to the recent shootings, people cannot help but remember the unfortunate events of April 2007 when Seung-Hui Cho, a senior English major at the school, killed 32 students and faculty before committing suicide in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
