A timeline of events in the bloodiest school shooting in US history:

07.15am: A 911 call is made to police informing them of a shooting at the West Ambler Johnston Hall, one of the campus dormitories. A man and woman are found shot dead.

07.30am: Two wounded people are taken to Montgomery Regional Hospital, the nearest hospital to the campus.

08.00am: Classes begin for most of the 9000 students who live on campus and the thousands more who come from outside.

Police evacuate the dormitory and begin to question witnesses. Thinking that the shooter has left the campus, they decide with the university's agreement to treat it as an isolated incident.

09.26am: Students are informed of the shooting in the dormitory by an email advising them to be cautious and to contact police if they see anything suspicious.

09.30am: Students in the engineering building Norris Hall call police to say that more shots have been fired.

The unidentified gunman advances between classes, killing 30 people before turning the gun on himself. According to witnesses he was Asian and wore a black jacket.

About 20 wounded, some of them seriously, are taken to hospitals.

09.50am: "A gunman is loose on campus. Stay in buildings until further notice. Stay away from all windows," says a second email.

Loudspeakers broadcast a similar message.

10.16am: A third email announces that all classes have been cancelled and urges students "to remain where they are, lock their doors and stay away from windows".

10.52am: A fourth email warns of "a multiple shooting with multiple victims" in Norris Hall, saying the gunman has been arrested and that police are hunting for a possible second shooter. The entrances to the campus are locked.

In fact, the gunman is dead, but police are not sure if they have the shooter. Authorities remain uncertain whether the two incidents are linked and cannot rule out that the dormitory shooter is still on the loose and could re-appear.

12.15am: University president Charles Steger and campus police chief Wendell Flinchum tell a press conference that more than 20 people have been killed.

As the day progresses the toll rises to at least 33 dead, including the gunman.
