Unconfirmed on the facebook page that a cop was shot and killed.

[Edited on December 8, 2011 at 12:59 PM. Reason : I also wonder how many people are wearing "Maroon hoodies" today on VTech's campus.]

News is now reporting a police officer shot and killed ... but it may be that they read it on facebook, said it on the news, and then it was posted to facebook as confirmation.

12/8/2011 1:07:30 PM

A picture of the suspected weapon:

News station is the one reporting shot in the head and killed.

12/8/2011 1:15:42 PM

the cage is a big dorm resident lot on the edge of campus

"The shooting comes the same day as Virginia Tech is appealing a $55,000 fine by the Education Department in connection with the university's response to a 2007 rampage that left 33 people dead. "

I think their response time was a little improved this time around.
