    A Pennsylvania State Police officer keeps watch over the back of the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh on March 8.

    A gunman opened fire at a psychiatric clinic at the University of Pittsburgh on Thursday in a shooting that killed two people, including the gunman, and wounded seven others. 

    A SWAT team was on the scene shortly after the shooting. A street was blocked off, and the area thronged with police. Most students are on spring break, though offices and buildings have been open. 

    There were no details about the second death, and it was unclear whether the seven wounded people were patients, employees or visiting family members.

    CHARDON, Ohio -- The deadline to file charges in a fatal Ohio high school shooting loomed as students still reeling from the slaying of three teenagers marched by the hundreds to their reopened school Thursday.

    The students, many with their parents and wearing the school colors of red and black, started the day gathered around a courthouse square gazebo, quietly singing the alma mater.

    Students hugged each other and parents as they left the gazebo, which was decorated with a growing memorial of candles, flowers and handwritten messages of support.

    "I'm just scared for everybody and I don't know how everybody is going to act going back into school," said Theodore Rosch, 16, a freshman, as his father, Will Rosch, wrapped his left arm around his son's shoulders.

    Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, center, who suffered a head wound in the Tuscon shooting, smiles after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at a memorial service marking the anniversary of the shooting, at the University of Arizona campus, Jan. 8. Bells tolled, girls in white dresses danced and clergymen offered up prayers in Tucson one year after a shooting spree that left six people dead and 13 others wounded, among them Giffords.

    Gabrielle Giffords leads Pledge of Allegiance at Arizona vigil

    AP reports:

    The crowd chanted: "Gabby, Gabby."

    She limped to the podium, and husband Mark Kelly helped lift her left hand over her heart. After a year in which she has struggled to speak, Giffords recited the pledge with the audience, head held high and a smile on her face as she punched each word.

    Tucson marks anniversary of deadly shooting that killed six, injured US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

    Jonathan Gibby / Getty Images

    A memorial rests on a highway on Jan. 8 for the six people that lost their lives in a deadly shooting last year across from the La Toscana Village Safeway in Tucson, Ariz. Memorial services will be held throughout the day in Tucson to commemorate the one year anniversary of a shooting rampage that killed six people and wounded more than a dozen including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).

     

    AP reports:

    The 41-year-old Giffords has spent the last year in Houston undergoing intensive physical and speech therapy. Doctors and family have called her recovery miraculous after the Jan. 8 shooting; she is able to walk and talk, vote in Congress and gave a televised interview to ABC's Diane Sawyer in May. But doctors have said it would take many months to determine the lasting effects of her brain injury. The three-term congresswoman has four months to decide whether to seek re-election.

    "She's making a lot of progress. She's doing great," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, a close friend, said. "She still has a long way to go."

    Virginia Tech students hold candles during a memorial service and candlelight vigil for fallen Virginia Tech police officer Deriek W. Crouse on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia Dec. 9, 2011. A man who fatally shot the Virginia Tech police officer on Thursday apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Virginia State police said on Friday. The incident prompted a lockdown of the campus on Thursday and revived memories of a gunman's 2007 rampage that left 33 people dead in one of the worst shooting incidents in U.S. history.

    Police identify Virginia Tech gunman as student from nearby school

    AP reports:

    BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Police have identified the Virginia Tech gunman as a 22-year-old student at nearby Radford University.

    Police said Friday that Ross Truett Ashley, of Radford, was responsible for killing a Virginia Tech police officer Thursday, triggering a campus-wide lockdown for thousands of students.

    Ashley killed himself after shooting the officer, officials said.

    Virginia Tech police officers console one another as they move toward the scene where a fellow police officer was killed in a parking lot on the campus of Virginia Tech, Dec. 8, in Blacksburg, Va. A man killed a police officer and another person after a traffic stop Thursday at Virginia Tech, sending a shudder through campus as students and faculty were told to stay inside and police searched for the gunman, school officials said.

    NBC News and msnbc.com staff report:

    The officer was shot during a traffic stop, Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski told NBC News.

    "Witnesses reported to police the shooter fled on foot heading toward the Cage, a parking lot near Duck Pond Drive. At that parking lot, a second person was found. That person is also deceased, Owczarski said.

    A Virginia Tech alert described the suspected shooter as a white male wearing gray sweat pants, a gray hat with a neon green brim and a maroon hoodie, and carrying a backpack.

    Local S.W.A.T. team members congregate near a parking lot on the campus of Virginia Tech to look for an armed man who is suspected of killing two people, Dec. 8, 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.

    Banning guns does not stop crimes with guns. DC use to have one of the strictest gun laws but at the same time had the highest murder rate in the country. If criminals want guns they are going to get them. If they go to Mexico the ATF will give them one.

    Residents of Ohio community mourn shooting victims

    Karen Schiely / Akron Beacon Journal via AP

    Members of the Copley Township community bow their heads in prayer during a vigil at Copley Community Park in Copley Township, Ohio, Aug. 7. A man gunned down two people outside a Copley Township home and two more in a car Sunday morning. He then shot his girlfriend in a rampage that left eight dead including the gunman, who was shot by police.

    AP reports:

    A neighbor, Gilbert Elie, said he was getting ready for church when he heard gunshots and cries for help in his northeast Ohio neighborhood, a wooded, residential area outside Akron. He went to a house across the street and said he found a shocking scene: the woman who lived there lying in the driveway, her husband shot near the garage, and their young granddaughter and another woman shot in the front seat of a vehicle, the windows apparently blown out by gunfire.

    A third woman came out of the house next door and tried to talk to Elie, he said, but their brief exchange ended abruptly when a man followed her out of the house and shot her, sending the 75-year-old Elie running for safety behind a truck.

    "She was talking to me, and he come up behind her and shot her, so I figured, maybe I'm next," he told The Associated Press.
