GRUNDY, Va. (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.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
U.S. officials have tenativeley
concluded Osama bin Laden’s
terrorist group, al-Qaida, had
not developed the means to pro
duce chemical, biological or
radiological weapons at the time
the United States began bomb
ing Afghanistan in October.
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.
