Virginia Tech to Mark 10 Years After Deadly Campus Shooting in April

Virginia Tech says the 10th anniversary of the shooting on its campus that killed 32 people will be marked with three days of events.

The school says in a statement that events and tributes will culminate on April 16, the shooting's tenth anniversary.

The school says that on April 14, a campus arts center will host a "Performance in Remembrance'' with student performers including a wind ensemble, choirs and dancers. 

On April 15, the school will host the eighth annual 3.2-mile "Run in Remembrance.'' A community picnic will follow. 

On April 16, there will be a ceremony recognizing the students and faculty who died. A moment of silence and a candlelight vigil will also be part of the day. 

A student opened fire on campus in 2007, killing students and faculty before killing himself.
