A gunman killed a Virginia Tech university police officer conducting a routine traffic stop Thursday, authorities said, and the body of another man—possibly the killer's—was found not far away, reviving painful memories of a 2007 massacre at the Blacksburg, Va., campus. The four-year veteran of the Virginia Tech police force was killed around 12:30 p.m. when a white man walked up and fired, said Bob Carpentieri, a spokesman for the Virginia State Police, which is leading the investigation. The suspect fled the scene, Mr. Carpentieri said at a news conference Thursday evening. Authorities later found a second body and a weapon in a parking lot a quarter of a mile away, Mr. Carpentieri said. He declined to comment on whether the second body was the officer's killer or another victim.
