BLACKSBURG, Va. — In the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, at least 33 people were killed in two separate attacks Monday at Virginia Tech, with 31 — including the suspected gunman — dying in one campus building, police and university officials said.

Two people were killed in the first shooting about 7:15 a.m. ET at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a coed dorm at the university in southwestern Virginia. Police said 31 people, including the suspected gunman, died in the second attack more than two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building. The suspected gunman killed himself, police said.
