Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said today the three academic campers who reported seeing the gunman were 13 and 14 years old, and once police determined their information to be credible, the school issued the alert at 9:37 a.m.
“We have not had any reported sightings or any more information regarding this person,” Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum told reporters at a news briefing.
Added Hincker: “We’re in a new era. Obviously this campus experienced something terrible four years ago… Strictly, as an abundance of caution, we are going to keep the campus under alert status.”
