Four years after the nation’s deadliest school shooting, a report of another armed man on the grounds of Virginia Tech sparked an all-day manhunt Thursday.

A campus-wide lockdown was instituted just 28 minutes after three teens attending a summer program at Virginia Tech reported seeing a man carrying a weapon. While officers searched some 150 buildings for the suspect, the university activated a new emergency alert system put in place after the 2007 rampage that claimed the lives of 33 students.
