Police officials examine the body of a police officer shot to death in a parking lot on the campus of Virginia Tech,  Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011, in Blacksburg, Va.   The school said a police officer pulled someone over for a traffic stop and was shot and killed. The shooter ran toward a nearby parking lot, where a second person was found dead.   It was the first gunfire on campus since 33 people were killed in 2007 in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The deaths came on the same day university officials were in Washington appealing a fine that federal officials gave them over the school's response five years ago. (AP Photo/Don Petersen)
