The first shooting occurred at around 7:15 a.m. EDT in West Ambler Johnston Hall, a co-ed dormitory that houses 895 students, where a woman, and a male resident assistant, were killed.
About two hours later, shots were reported in a classroom at Norris Hall, an engineering and science building. Authorities identified a "person of interest" in the first shooting, who is cooperating with them. According to the Washington Post, this "person of interest" was the boyfriend of the woman in the dorm and was released after cooperating.
It is not yet confirmed whether the first shootings in the dormitory and the later shootings at Norris Hall are related.
The motives of the gunman remain unclear, though the British tabloid Daily Mail reported that the shooter at the dormitory "was said to have quarreled in a dormitory with his girlfriend, whom he believed had been seeing another man. A student advisor was called to [deal with the fight]. But the killer produced a gun and shot dead both his girlfriend and the advisor." However, this theory is contradicted by a report in the Washington Post, which seems to indicate that the assailant was not the boyfriend of the girl, but rather someone else.
Please give a moment to think about those at Viriginia Tech. This news has hit rather close to my home.
