Police released this composite sketch of the possible gunman
Virginia Tech police responded quickly Thursday to reports from three teens who say they saw a man with a gun on campus. Police say a small group of teens attending a summer camp thought they saw a man with a handgun just after 9 a.m. on Thursday. Officials at the university immediately sent alerts through postings, e-mails and text messages. You can view a detailed list of those postings at the VA Tech website.
Virginia Tech Spokesperson Larry Hincker told ABC News, “In this day and age, we don’t think we had any other choice than to issue a campus alert.” Classes were closed and the campus was shut down until the lockdown was lifted late afternoon.
Investigators say the possible gunman stands 6-feet tall and was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, gray shorts and brown sandals. The alleged suspect may have shielded the gun with some sort of cloth.
If you have any information, please contact Virginia Tech Police: 540-231-6411

Suffolk County Police say a suspect is still on the run for a horrific pharmacy shooting that took the lives of four innocent people on Father’s Day. When officers arrived at the Haven Pharmacy on Southaven Avenue around 10:20 a.m., they found the bodies of Jennifer Mejia, 17, and Raymond Ferguson, 45, both employees, and customers Jamie Tacetta, 33, and Byron Sheffield, 71.

It has been one week since Lauren Spierer disappeared as she walked home from a night out with friends. Lauren was last seen at 4:30 a.m. She was heading back to her apartment complex, but never made it. Lauren was last seen in Bloomington, Indiana near the corner of 11th Street and College Avenue and investigators feel she is a victim of foul play.
Lauren is a fashion student at Indiana University and was scheduled to start an internship this summer at a Manhattan Anthropologie. Large groups and volunteers have come together in recent days to help with organized search efforts, but so far, there’s been no sign of Lauren.
Lauren’s roommate, Blair Wallach told us that they’ve known one another since they were 9-years-old. Blair and Lauren met at summer camp in Pennsylvania and have been fast friends ever since. The pair, along with two other girls, were living in the Smallwood Apartment complex over the last year and they just signed another lease for the upcoming semesters. Blair says she left to go home to New Jersey and Lauren stayed to take summer courses for a few weeks. Lauren has had a boyfriend for two years, but he was not out with her the night she went missing. Blair said the guy she was with last week, prior to her disappearance, is not someone she had ever met. She thinks Lauren and the unknown male met during summer semester.
