Second Shooting at Virginia tech

[Disgustipated]

So what could the possible motive be? He doesn't like campus police? I don't get it.

I heard it may be connected to an earlier robbery, but I don't remember where I got that from.

From The Guardian

Gene Deisinger, the deputy chief of Virginia Tech police department, said the policeman was shot after the killer walked up to the officer as he stopped a motorist in a university car park. About 45 minutes later, the police spotted a man acting suspiciously in a car park less than a mile away. By the time officers approached him, he was dead from a gun shot. The police said they did not shoot the man.

Officials declined to say if they believe the deaths were a "murder-suicide" but that a gun was found on the body. They are investigating the possibility that the dead man was also involved in an armed robbery a day earlier.

The hunt for the killer has now been stopped.

Without more info any motive is possible.

Pretty strange incident. A suspect just walking up out of nowhere and killing a police officer and then himself...

It's been mentioned from various places, and was mentioned in the press conference. But so far, there's nothing to back it up.

There is one strange part to the theory that the second guy was the murderer:

Fox News

State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said investigators are trying to determine why the deceased suspect was wearing different clothing than that worn by the individual in the video and described by eyewitnesses.

I'm guessing mental insanity. Maybe a schizophrenic youngster.
