At Least Five Shot at Law School in Virginia

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - At least five people were shot on Wednesday at a law school in Grundy, a small town in southwestern Virginia, apparently by a male student who opened fire in a student lounge.

``There's been five, maybe six people shot. I think they have everything under control,'' a woman who answered the phone at the sheriff's office said.

Alicia O'Quin, a special assistant to the president of the Appalachian School of Law, said a male student had apparently entered a student lounge area on the campus at about 1 p.m. EST and opened fire.

O'Quin said she did not know if anyone was killed or how many were wounded. It was unclear, she said, how many people were in the lounge at the time of the shooting.

``All the details are sketchy at the moment. We are still trying to find out exactly what happened,'' she said.

Police and ambulances rushed to the scene and she said the campus was being evacuated. A trauma team had arrived to counsel students and a command center had been set up in the law library.

``Nothing like this has ever happened before, either here or even in this county. It's usually a very quiet campus, very intimate,'' said O'Quin, adding that there were only about 240 students on the campus.
