The alleged shooter responsible for the death of Virginia Tech Police officer Deriek Crouse, as well as his own, has been identified as Ross Truett Ashley, according to Virginia State Police.

Ballistics evidence testing showed that the two shootings that occurred yesterday on the Tech campus are linked, with both individuals being shot with the same weapon.

Ashley, 22, is from Partlow, Va. in Spotsylvania County, but he has a local residence on the 1000 Block of East Main Street in Radford, Va. and was enrolled as a part-time student at Radford University majoring in business management.

See a Google map showing the path of Ashley throughout the past three days at the end of the story.

At some point, Ashley was also enrolled at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, where he served on the SGA in 2007. He was also on the dean's list in spring 2008.

At this time, there is no connection or prior contact between Ashley and Crouse. State police are still working toward establishing a motive in the murder.

Ashley is also allegedly responsible for the hijacking of a white 2011 Mercedes SUV from a real estate office that occurred in Radford on Wednesday, Dec. 7, according to State police. The SUV was stolen at gunpoint at about 11:25 a.m. Wednesday from Gilbert Real Estate on the 600 Block of Calhoun Street.

Surprising... a two-bit criminal from Virginia's worst public "school" (if you can call it that). Radford is one of the shittiest schools in America with a student body whose collective IQ is probably half that of the average student at VA Tech. Sad, really.

I wish we could revoke all funding to Radford.

why does his forehead look like an orange? no wonder this ugly shit got teased. he needs to clean those oily pores

they both have those blue pics..why? is that some sort of shooter thing?

I'm guessing driver's license pictures.

too bad the sorry son of a bitch took the cowards way out. I would have liked to see the pathetic bastard face justice instead of being a chicken shit coward! Parents must be scumbags too for raising a kid like this.

Okay, blame Radford...you dumb ass.

Tech didn't recognize that they had a killer in the midst, so watch where you point your finger.

Which shooter do you mean? This recent one or the spree killer?

na na dat korean muthafucka

I wonder why he did it..

Maybe the syphilis he got at Radford drove him mad?

 

What I want to know was how was a Radford student sober enough to drive? Seriously, someone must have driven him there, slapped him awake, and held his drunk ass upright while he did the deed.

I imagine that students all over Radford will pause in a quiet moment of reflection, before they head to the bathroom to refill their brewski from the keg in the tub.

Typical Radford grammer, god damn it makes me mad seeing people get degrees at a joke school like that while people are working 5 times as hard at an average university. All the dumb kids go there, everyone knows it, employers will not want you and you'll pay for taking the easy way out.

A lot of rotten people go to Radford. It's pretty much a safety school for a lot of people who get rejected from their first choice university. So it's essentially a school for rejects, ask any Pulaski native and they will tell you.

This is yet another example of how ineffective the security is at VA Tech. I always hear people talking about the shootings from some years ago, but what about the beheading there? This latest incident shows how easy it was for this kid to sneak up and cap a campus police officer and get away with it. This would have been a worse disaster if this kid hadn't shot himself.

When you have that many youths under alot of pressure in one small town.. and throw in how easy it is to get a firearm in VA... It's no wonder this keeps happening.

 

The Radford community was shocked and appalled at the fact that one of our fellow students would commit such a heinous crime. To talk about the Radford community as a whole is not only ignorant and insensitive, it is pathetic. I don't remember anyone talking about how 'stupid' Virginia Tech students were for having a killer in their midst. Please, refrain from being so bigoted and frankly, embarrassing yourself on the internet.
