A late-night shooting Friday at a hookah lounge near the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg left one person dead and four injured, police said.

       About 11:50 p.m., police responded to a report of shots fired at the Melody Hookah Bar in downtown Blacksburg. Police identified the slain man as Isiah O. Robinson, 18, of Roanoke.

       They did not release names of the wounded or specify the extent of the injuries.

       Local television stations reported that the person killed was a Roanoke high school student, but police and school officials declined to confirm that Saturday afternoon.

       On Facebook, Roanoke City Public Schools officials expressed sadness at “the death of a member of our Patrick Henry High School family,” but the statement did not mention the shooting or say how the person who died was connected to the school.

       Virginia Tech officials confirmed that a student there was among those injured.

       “We have been in contact with his family, and they report their son is out of surgery, recovering, and seems to be doing well,” Frank Shushok Jr., vice president for student affairs, said in a statement Saturday. “We continue to respect the privacy of the student, and we are grateful for the outpouring of care and support directed to him.”

       Police said Saturday night that they had obtained warrants charging a man with murder in the death of Robinson. The warrants also charged the suspect with four counts of attempted murder, police said.

       The suspect was identified by Blacksburg police as Jamel D. Flint, 24, of Roanoke.

       Officials did not provide a motive for the shooting.

       “This incident continues to be a complex, ongoing case that has shifted to a homicide investigation,” the Blacksburg Police Department said earlier Saturday. “Multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting in the area and following up on leads.”

       The campus was placed on lockdown early Saturday, and students were told to “stay inside” and to “secure doors.” The lockdown was rescinded about 3:15 a.m., but students were told to avoid downtown.

       “Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the deceased and we extend our support to those who were injured,” Virginia Tech President Tim Sands said in a statement. “Events like this are difficult and unsettling to all of us. Please care for yourself and seek assistance if you need it. … Our community is strong, and our strength is derived from our genuine care and concern for one another.”

       The hookah bar, in a statement posted online Saturday, said: “We are deeply hurt and devastated of what happened Friday night, our condolences go to the families and friends of everyone who were affected. Moving forward we will add more precautions and regulations in place.”

       In Virginia, individuals have to be at least 21 to smoke hookah.

       Ahead of the shooting, on its website, the bar had posted a notice that it would be closed for a private party from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. but would open to the public again afterward.

       The site of the shooting was near the southeastern edge of Virginia Tech, which experienced one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. An undergraduate student killed 32 people, and himself, on April 16, 2007, in the deadliest school shooting in the nation. It was supplanted as the deadliest mass shooting in the country by the 2016 Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando and then the 2017 music festival shooting in Las Vegas.

       The Blacksburg shooting is the latest incident to rock Virginia this week. Two campus police officers at Bridgewater College were fatally shot Tuesday after they were checking out a report of a “suspicious man” near a classroom building. The suspect linked to the deaths of campus police Officer John Painter, 55, and campus Safety Officer Vashon “J.J.” Jefferson, 48, has been identified as Alexander Wyatt Campbell, 27, of Ashland, Va. Campbell, a former student, faces capital murder charges.

       Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said on Twitter that his heart went out “to the victims and the community of Blacksburg, which is already scarred by the scourge of gun violence.”

       The state’s other senator, Mark R. Warner (D), tweeted: “Incredibly saddened to see another act of gun violence in the Commonwealth this week.”
