(AP) — A law school student upset about his grades went on a shooting spree Wednesday, killing three people and critically wounding three others before he was wrestled to the ground by students, officials said. The victims included the dean of the Appalachian School of Law and a professor who were gunned down in their offices. The third per son slain was a student, said Ellen Qualls, a spokeswoman for Gov. Mark Warner. “When I got there there were bodies laying everywhere,” said Dr. Jack Briggs, who has a pri vate practice a half-mile from the school in this tiny western Virginia community. Briggs said he had treated the suspect in the past year. He described the gunman as a Nigerian in his early 40s who had flunked out last year and been allowed to return. “I think they were getting ready to tell him that he had not made the grade this year,” Briggs said. Dean L. Anthony Sutin and the professor were “executed” in their offices, Briggs said. He said the gunman then went downstairs into a common area and opened fire on a crowd of stu dents, killing one and wounding three others. He was tackled by four male students as he left the building. “They just wanted the guy,” Briggs said. “They weren’t worried about their own personal safety.” Other details were not immediately available, but Qualls said the weapon used was a .380-cal iber semiautomatic handgun. The three wounded students were taken to Buchanan General Hospital, Qualls said. The gov ernor said they were in critical condition. “We knew before we heard there was a shoot ing that something was wrong,” said Tiffany Street, who works at a nearby motel. “There were fire trucks, ambulances, state police and cops all heading toward the school. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Street, 20. “Grundy’s a very small town, and I’ve been here all my life.” The private law school has an enrollment of about 170 students. The governor, who had served on the school’s board until he took office last week, said he was shocked and saddened by the shooting. “I commend the students who acted swiftly to apprehend the suspect, who is now in cus tody,” Warner said. “My heart goes out to the school and the community. I know that such a close-knit community will feel such a tragedy especially deeply.” Sutin, a 1984 graduate of Harvard Law School, was also an associate professor at the school. He left the Justice Department to found the school after working for the Democratic Na Committee and Bill Clinton’s campaign in according to the Website of Jurist, the Education Network. The school opened five years ago in a rerj ed junior high school in Grundy, a town of; 1,100 just a few miles south of the Kentudij West Virginia state lines.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Wednesday that weeks of searching more than 40 sites in Afghanistan yielded diagrams, materials and reports that indicated “an appetite for weapons of mass destruction.” “In terms of having hard evi dence of actual possession of weapons of mass destruction, I do not have that at this stage,” he told a Pentagon news conference. Of 50 suspected al-Qaida sites identified so far, 45 have been thoroughly examined, offi cials said. Rumsfeld has said that while the Sept. 1 1 airplane hijacking plot that killed thousands was a stunning tragedy, terrorist groups with access to chemical, biological or nuclear weapons could wreak far greater havoc on the United States and other countries unless global terrorism is extinguished. The searches also are designed to find clues to the whereabouts of bin Laden and deposed Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. Rumsfeld disputed the notion that both have vanished.
