At least 20 people have been killed and more injured after a gunman went on the rampage at the campus of Virginia Tech university in Virginia, US.
Police say there were two separate shooting incidents - one at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a student dormitory, and Norris Hall, an engineering building.
The incidents were about two hours apart. Police say that the gunman at Norris Hall is dead.
The state university in the town of Blacksburg is home to 26,000 students.
"We have a ballpark figure on fatalities. It's at least 20 fatalities," Virginia Tech police chief Wendell Flinchum said.
Mr Flinchum said it was unclear if the assailant was a student, but said that a number of the victims were.
"Some of the victims were shot in a classroom," he said.
"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said, adding that the university was in the process of informing the next of kin of those killed.
This is just terrible, i cant believe people are sick enough to do stuff like this! It makes me so angry! These people are making something of themselves aiming for a good job not a bullet in their head! what a messed up world!
my deepest sympathy goes out the familys and partners who have lost loved ones!
not a good day!

Wonder how soon the "local" swat team was on the scene? Before the shooters... like in columbine?(curiously ignored by Michael "the truth" Moore...)
Another "tragedy" the victims and their family will never get to the bottom of... Sad state of affairs...
feel sorry for everyone affected!

I'll not be surprised if they soon "reveal" that the shooter is Iranian or something..! Then they'll have to "bring democracy" to Iran!
My condolences to all who lost their loved ones on this terrible attack.

please... lets not get crazy in this thread and start wild speculations to make this something it almost certainly is not
the current situation from many eye witnesses appears to be a jilted boyfriend upset about his girlfriend being with another guy
