GRUNDY, Va. -- Police say as many as six people have been shot at the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Virginia near the Kentucky-Virginia border.

Three people were killed and three wounded in a shooting spree Wednesday at the school in Virginia, officials said.

Three students were taken to the hospital.

Newsman Tony Turner of WYMT-TV in Hazard said he interviewed a student who told him a foreign exchange student opened fire on a professor and others because he was upset over grades that were posted.

Among the dead was Anthony Sutton, dean of the school established in 1997, said Ellen Qualls, spokeswoman for Gov. Mark Warner, a former member of the school's board. Also killed were a student and another member of the faculty, she said.

Warner's spokeswoman said the weapon was a .380 semiautomatic handgun.

State police believe students apprehended the shooter, who is now in custody, Qualls said.

The Buchanan County law school opened five years ago in a renovated junior high school. About 170 students attend the school.

The school has about 15 faculty members, including alumni of law schools at the University of California at Berkeley and Columbia, Harvard and Howard universities.
