The police have searched the campus extensively, but the reported gunman was nowhere to be found. It seems that they are still being cautious, but the lockdown has been lifted for now.
A person with a gun was spotted in Virginia Tech near Dietrick Dining Hall this morning at 9:30 AM.
Everyone, please be safe! And get the word out, especially if you are at VT - this hasn't been covered by the news yet.
Virginia Tech, the site of a 2007 massacre, has issued an alert saying someone is possibly carrying a weapon on campus.
Regular classes aren't in session at the moment, but there is summer school. The university in Blacksburg, Virginia, is asking people on campus to stay inside and secure doors. The person was spotted near Dietrick Dining Hall.
In April 2007, Cho Seung-Hui, 23, shot dead 32 people on campus before killing himself.

like calling the cops.
how do you prevent this exactly?
It's more about alerting and general security measures.
It's commonplace now for these types of alerts to be text messaged to all students and faculty, as well as the parents and other emergency contacts. Automated calling machines also call all of these numbers to warn people. If you know there is a gunman on campus, you don't walk around like its perfectly safe. You stay hidden, and then the cops will have an easy time finding the odd man out, ie, the one who is still outside.
Information is the difference between life and death.

the day human beings realize they are all relatives, since they are from the same planet in a universe of billions of more planet, yes its a long shot but think about it. When that day happens, years 100 at least, later, people will stop killing eachother because it will take time to weed out the idiots that still survive. Till then........ this is what we will have to deal with for hundreds of years to come.

From VT website: "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, Virginia State Police, and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office are patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject. "
Lets not take to the streets yet. First of all someone with a gun is not a gunman by the definition of the virginia tech guy in 2007. People are allowed to carry weapons in va, on school campuses they are not allowed but there is still really nothing more then the word of the 3 students yet. Also if there is a gunman again by this point the whole campus is being locked down so lets wait for a story.

Yeah, I hope it was a false alarm then. It doesn't necessarily mean it is, but I really hope it is.

Agreed. At the very least we know they are able and prepared for such situations.

The definition of a gunman, according to my handy dictionary, is a criminal with a gun. If he has a gun on campus, he is breaking the law, which makes him a criminal. Circular logic arguments aside, I'm pretty sure that would make him a gunman. He's not a shooter, but he'd definitely be a gunman.
An expert on BBC said that after almost every one of these big shootings - within one month - there is a 'copycat', let's pray this isn't one of those cases.
It is possible this is just someone not being aware of the campus rules. People accidentally carry guns into places where it is prohibited, somewhat often.
On August 05 2011 00:09 Probe1 wrote: So.. are we discussing news that is yet to happen?
And likely won't happen. Someone maybe carrying a gun in a place where guns aren't allowed is hardly a news worthy thing. The only reason anyone reported this is because the title will probably draw views due to the past shooting there.

I suppose we could discuss the security measures taken to save lives in these situations.
In the University of Delaware, I get a text message and a call twice a semester from the automated alert system to ensure it is working properly (scares the shit out of me every time it happens too). Does anyone enrolled in a university not get these test messages?

I would assume it happens a lot more in the US since guns are allowed. Yeah, it might not be common to carry them around, but since the gun laws allow for them, why is it so bad that someone carries one? Yes, the specific place is... well, not exactly the best place to carry a gun around, but there is always the one guy who is just oblivious to the past and the rules or just doesn't care.
Well, i still really hope it's just a stupid guy and that there are no malicious intentions - idiocy is often hard to discern from malignance.

"like this"? Someone may or may not be carrying a gun. There is no need for responses like yours. It's like saying "Oh, God, fires claiming innocent lives is such a tragic thing!" in response to a fire bell being pulled.

Gun laws in America are rather extensive. It's not as simple as "everyone can have guns everywhere all the time."
It's not a light switch where you say "guns yes" or "guns no". The idea of gun ownership in America is also not about having them on you at all times and in all places.
It is handled by state law, but typically it is illegal for a person to have a firearm out in public. Many times it can only be off your property when it is in a gun case, and unloaded. Of course that doesn't apply in designated hunting locations, but in suburbia/the city/anything but the forest or desert, it's pretty much always a crime to have a gun out in public.

Not true at all. Most states issue concealed carry permits and some that don't allow open carry. Maybe I am misunderstanding your wording and you mean that for most people, you are not allowed to have a gun in public which is true because most people don't have concealed carry permits but it still isn't the vast majority because some states allow open carry and/or concealed carry without a permit.

note "out in public"
A concealed carry permit allows you to carry a hand gun in public. I don't get what you are trying to point out.

A CCP isn't the super exclusive right to do whatever you want with your gun whenever you want. Not only is it made very difficult to get in most states, but you still CAN NOT take your gun out in public. It's concealed carry, not "wave it around in public" carry.
Even with a permit, it's illegal in what I would imagine to be all 50 states to carry a concealed weapon onto a school campus.

Was it implied in the article that the man was waving it around or had even drawn it?
I'm aware that even with a permit the man is breaking the law. Look at the entire conversation. It's clear that I know this. I'm just addressing untrue posts.

Visible does not mean drawn. Visible is in fact legal in Virginia. You don't need to conceal it.

If someone made a thread about a fire bell going off at a school then a whole bunch of people started lamenting about how terrible people burning to death is, and making posts like "oh, no not again, not another fire!" it would only make sense to tell them that a fire bell probably doesn't mean fire.

That is true, good point. I never thought of that.
A little after 9 a.m. three juveniles attending a camp at Virginia Tech said they saw a white male who had an object covered by some kind of cloth that the juveniles believed to be a weapon, officials said.
They said the man was walking fast. Authorities have not located him.
I don't blame them for taking precautions, but based on the quote above it appears to me that these three summer camp kids may have encountered a strange creature known as a "grad student." They're terrifying wraiths consumed by the Mathematics that live only for publishing obscure papers. No, I'm not sure what one was doing awake at 9am either.
"BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 4, 2011 – 2:41 p.m. Update to VT Alerts
The campus alert is lifted. See email or www.vt.edu for further information.
The campus alert is lifted. There will continue to be a large police presence on campus today. Police have not received nor discovered additional information about a person possibly carrying a weapon beyond that reported this morning. The university community may resume normal campus activity. Only Blacksburg campus classes have been cancelled today.
While the alert has been lifted, as always, we suggest that people remain vigilant and report suspicious campus activity to Virginia Tech Police at 911 or 540-231-6411."
It appears the police will still be around and monitoring the campus but there may not have a been a gunman as there have been no other witnesses since the initial reporting. I imagine they would have had more leads by this point if there really was someone by their description carrying a gun around campus.

I would be cautious but not overly worried. When an inmate escaped Montgomery Hospital (and armed himself) they were able to track him down pretty quickly. The reason I bring this up is that unlike this situation, there were constant sightings and tips flooding in. I think the lack of sightings s since the initial report probably means you are safe but be careful.
