BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) A fatal stabbing on Virginia Tech campus has triggered a crisis alert system that was revamped after a deadly mass shooting there in 2007.
Students were warned at 7:44 p.m. Wednesday to stay in place in an alert sent by e-mail and text message. After a suspect was taken into custody, students were told about an hour later they could resume normal activity.
The killing took place at the Graduate Life Center. University spokesman Mark Owczarski tells the Richmond Times-Distpatch that the suspect is male and that police found a knife they believe was the murder weapon.
The alert system was revamped after gunman Seung-Hui Cho took 32 lives before turning the gun on himself in an April 2007 rampage. The revamped system has been used before.
