US university goes online after mass shooting threat
Washington: Two campus police officers were shot and killed at a college in the US state of Virginia Tuesday, while one student was killed and another wounded in a shooting at a school in Minnesota the same day.
Virginia State Police said in a statement on Twitter, two agents, a campus law enforcement officer and a campus safety officer, were shot before the suspect fled the scene at the college in Virginia.
Multiple law enforcement agencies arrived on the campus of Bridgewater College around 1:20 pm (1820 GMT) in response to active shooter reports, according to the same statement, which the school also posted to its website.
The suspect, a 27-year-old man named Alexander Wyatt Campbell, was later apprehended, Virginia State Police said, adding that he had a “non-life-threatening gunshot wound.”
It was not yet clear if he had been shot by police or if the wound was self-inflicted. He has already been charged with murder, police said.
