Blacksburg, Virginia. Officials at Virginia Tech, site of a 2007 mass shooting, say a gunman has been reported on campus.

The university issued an alert on its Web site at 9:37 a.m. on Thursday telling students and employees to stay inside and secure doors.

The alert says the gunman was reported near Dietrick Hall, a three-story dining facility. The dining hall is steps away from the dorm where the first shootings took place in 2007 that left 33 dead.

The school says on its Web site that three young people attending a camp at the school reported seeing a man holding what may have been a handgun. They said it was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort, and that the man was walking in the direction of the volleyball courts.
