Blacksburg, Virginia (CNN) -- The person suspecting of shooting and killing a police officer at Virginia Tech had no known contact with the officer before the shooting, authorities said Friday.
Investigators continue to follow leads as they investigate the death of Virginia Tech Police Officer Deriek Crouse, said Corinne Geller, a spokeswoman for the Virginia State Police.
A second person believed to be the shooter was found dead not far from where Crouse was shot.
Ballistics evidence shows that Crouse and the other man who was found dead were shot with the same gun, state police said Friday.
Investigators are confident that they have identified the suspect in Crouse's death, authorities said. They plan to reveal the alleged shooter's identity after an official determination is made and the shooter's family is notified, Geller said. Police have said they believe the other man matches the description of the gunman who shot the officer. More....CNN NEWS
