Virginia Tech spokespeople say that a cop and another person were shot dead on campus ground just after noon on Thursday.

A news release from the school said the police officer had pulled someone over for a traffic stop and was shot and killed. Witnesses told police the shooter ran toward a parking lot on campus. A second person was found dead in that parking lot.

As of 3:30 p.m. the suspect is still at large. Virginia Tech officials are telling students and residents to stay indoors. An alert on the Virginia Tech website said: "There is an active campus alert in Blacksburg. Everyone should seek shelter or stay where you are. Blacksburg Transit service is suspended until the alert is lifted."

Virginia Tech suffered the United States’ worst school shooting massacre ever 4 years ago on April 16, 2007. In two separate attacks roughly two hours apart, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded 25 others before committing suicide.

What happens to people, what is guided by committing such crimes. Those people areshot, they were not found anyone guilty of the accident in the wrong place. In 2007, after a similar tragedy took place, with the difference that 33 people were killed there. When viewing a video posted here adf.ly/482pI trying to understand what pushes such people are committing these horrible things. Can you find the answer?. In both cases it is difficult to determine the actual cause of such behavior.
