At Va Tech. At least 2 dead.

When will it ever stop there. One was a VA Tech police officer. He was married and had 5 kids.

I may be wrong but the other one dead was the killer. I'm guessing when the other cops found him, they took him out. If that is what happened good for them.

Looks like a personal grudge to me. Man targeted the cop and then killed himself. Not likely he picked him at random.

I've not heard all the details but I was told last night that he didn't shoot himself.

According to news reports posted online this morning he appears to have shot himself with the same weapon he used to kill the officer.

There was another person present when he shot the officer and he didn't target that person. This was a personal issue.

Let's be honest. They are so many if's here. If the cops that where on foot after the guy and got to him, I'm sure they took the guy out. Do I think that the news reporters where told that he shot himself. Yes I do. The cops aren't going to say they took the guy out even if they did.

I agree with you, this is just too coincidental. I think he was probably targeted.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll know more soon but it sure seems to be a personal vendetta type of thing. Murder suicide for sure. I'm going to guess there was a woman involved, maybe the shooters wife. Just a guess.....

If the cops wanted to kill him all they would have to do is claim he pointed his weapon at them and they had to bring him down. Wouldn't make much sense to go to the trouble of shooting him with his own weapon or lying about what weapon killed him and then take the risk of it all coming out later and blowing up in their faces.
