At an early Wednesday morning press conference, Virginia State Police officials said they were still searching for the gunman from Tuesday's shooing in Appomattox County.
Appomattox Public Schools have been shut down, Wednesday, allowing police a safe search for the suspect.
State police say the suspect, Christopher Speight, is still alive and in the area where police are searching. They say the area is about two miles wide, east to west, and about 1,000 yards north to south.
Police say Speight had a relationship with his eight victims, although no details were released about the type of relationship between the parties.
State police would not release any motive for the shooting and will not release details on any evidence collected. They do say, however, the helicopter Speight allegedly shot, was hit by high power ammunition.
Police say they're looking for Speight's tan Ford Escort and his green Ford F-150.
Although police searched for the suspect overnight, more aggressive ground and air searches will take place once the sun rises.
