Virginia Tech, the site of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, says a police officer and a second victim have been killed.
Authorities are seeking a suspect.
A campus-wide alert tells students and faculty to stay inside and lock doors.
The shooting comes the same day as Virginia Tech is appealing a $55,000 fine by the Education Department in connection with the university’s response to a 2007 rampage that left 33 people dead.
The suspect is described as a white male wearing grey sweat pants, grey hat with neon green brim, maroon hoodie and backpack.
A student gunman killed 32 students and faculty and then shot himself on the campus in 2007.
