UPDATE: VT Shootings and Potential Shooter Information

As it continues to unravel, more information has been rumored about the killings on VT's campus.

FOX News has reported that the shooter came to campus with automatic or semi-automatic weapons and wearing a bulletproof vest. FOX reported that the gunman, a young Asian male (this was confirmed by CNN), was looking for his girlfriend. CNN reported that campus authorities believed some sort of domestic dispute was involved in the first incident.

The gunman was not carrying any identification and as such, no personal information has been released.

The shooter was killed at the scene.

AP reports that some of the doors of Norris Hall, where the second shooting occurred, were chained shut from the inside. Eyewitness reports say that some students jumped out of the classroom windows to escape the shooter.

Approximately 22,000 students attend Virginia Tech.
