Police officer killed by gunman at Virginia Tech (again?)

'Today, tragedy again struck Virginia Tech,' said university president Charles Steger. 'Our hearts are broken again.'

The police officer was killed after pulling a driver over in a traffic stop. The gunman, who was not involved in the traffic stop, walked into the parking lot and shot the officer, Sergeant Robert Carpentieri said. Police wouldn't talk about a motive.
