Virginia Tech has issued a warning about an armed suspect on campus. A post on its website reads, “Person with a gun reported near Dietrik. Stay Inside. Secure doors. Emergency personnel responding. Call 911 for help.” I hope this is not another situation that V-tech had back in 2007. I hope the police catch the person before anything goes seriously wrong. V-Tech Update:

Aug. 4, 2011 – 10:08 a.m. Update to VT Alerts At 9:09 a.m. three juveniles attending a camp at the university reported seeing a white male, 6 feet tall, with light brown hair outside of New Residence Hall East holding what may have been a handgun.  They say the weapon was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort.  He was walking fast in the direction of the volleyball courts.   He was wearing a blue and white striped shirt (stripes were vertical), gray shorts and brown sandals.  The subject had no facial hair or glasses. Officers responded immediately to the area but found no one matching the description.  Police have encountered no other witnesses reporting this individual or anything suspicious.  Law enforcement officers from VTPD, Blacksburg PD, Christiansburg, PD, and Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office are patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject. If anyone sees anything suspicious contact the VT Police Department at 231-6411 or 911.
