At least 22 dead in campus rampage - police

At least 22 people, including the suspect, were killed in a shooting rampage

on the US campus of Virginia Tech University.

Police and university officials have confirmed the death toll in Blacksburg,

Virginia.

The shootings took place in two separate areas of the campus and police

believe a single gunman was responsible.

'This is a tragedy of monumental proportions,' Virginia Tech president

Charles Steger told reporters.

Police said they were investigating whether the gunman killed himself or was

killed by authorities.

Most of the shootings took place at a part of the campus called Norris Hall,

according to campus police chief Wendell Finchum.

This is one of the deadliest shooting rampages in the US, a country known

for its loose gun ownership laws.

The last one of this scale on a university campus was when Charles Whitman

went to top of the tower in the middle of the University of Texas campus in

Austin, Texas, on 1 August, 1966, and opened fire on people 27 stories below.

He killed 15 people, including his mother and wife the night before, and

wounded 31 others.

Virginia Tech, with 26,000 students, is located in the southwest corner of

the state, about 240 miles (390 km) from Washington DC.
