"Across the Commonwealth, college campuses paid tribute and respect to the University of Virginia after a gunman took the lives of three student-athletes and injured two other students late Sunday night on the school's grounds.

Virginia Tech, having suffered through their own tragic campus shooting in 2007, said 'We are heartbroken and sending our deepest sympathies to the @UVA community and families of the victims of last night's tragedy.' #HokiesForHoos

Bridgewater College said, 'Bridgewater College stands with and sends our deepest sympathies to our friends at @UVA during this difficult time.' Their school dealt with their own campus shooting back in February when a former student-athlete allegedly shot and killed two campus police officers," reports WTVR 6 News.
