BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Gunfire erupted in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing at least one person and leaving 21 injured before a suspect was arrested, authorities said.
A reporter talking on CNN reports that the gunman has died, but police haven't confirmed that.
On the Web site, Tech reported the shootings at opposite ends of the 2,600-acre campus at West Ambler Johnston, a co-ed residence hall that houses 895 people, and said there were "multiple victims" at Norris Hall, an engineering building.
The university said there were multiple victims. Government officials with knowledge of the case said there were seven to eight other "casualties."

Note the singular use of CLASSROOM; not Classrooms. Maybe he tried to take out the entire class + the teacher.
