(CNN) -- A lone gunman is dead after police said he killed at least 21 31 people Monday during shootings in a dorm and a classroom at Virginia Tech -- the deadliest school attack in U.S. history.

Government officials told The Associated Press that the death toll had grown to 31, including the gunman. CNN is working to confirm the report.

"Some victims were shot in a classroom," university police Chief Wendell Flinchum said during a news conference in Blacksburg.

This is still sorting itself out, so I certainly dont know any more than anyone else following this story. What a tragedy! This is my home state, and Blackburg is not far from my own hometown... It is very sad that our young people can not feel safe in school anymore...
