The shooter is dead. The police had a few different people in hand cuffs, due to confusion, while they were trying to find the shooter.

Hey guys, I'm student at VT and so far this is what I've gathered:

The shooter was a student from Radford, another university about 20 minutes away looking for his girlfriend. The first shooting happened about 600 feet from my dorm. Luckily everyone I have been able to contact is not hurt.

At about 10AM EST, he went into an academic building and killed over 30 people, some lined up execution style.

I slept through my first class so I never made it to class. I did talk to my friend who was in the class that I slept through. She said that they held the students in the building for a few hours and they could hear the gunshots.

What a horrible tragedy.



That's absolutely insane. It's hard to believe a messed up relationship can result in this kind of tragedy. The human mind is a dangerous thing when off kilter.

On another note, what a time to make a political point:

quote:
A White House spokesman said President Bush was horrified by the rampage and offered his prayers to the victims and the people of Virginia. "The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that all laws must be followed," spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

Well in todays world it is sad but security guards anywhere in the US cant do shit without a lawsuit or civil action taken against them ANYWHERE, this means stores, schools, clubs, etc... The only purpose they serve is to detour folks from committing a crime. If the US citizens would get their heads out of their asses and stop being sue happy then maybe they could do more than just stand there looking ominous.

As for the shootings I am a student at NDSU and I can feel my college brethren's pain. As the stress level increases as finals come up things are bound to go awry but I was hoping not to this extent.

Yeahhhh... especially when in an emotional state like that. Makes me doubt the conversation is genuine... not that it matters.

We reap what we sow.


Posted by igottaknow on Apr-16-2007 19:13:

i'm looking at cnn, i think the police are idiots. after the fact they do a macho parade in front of the tv cameras with their body armor and semi-automatic weapons. where were you idiots during the two hour time span between the shootings? and why didn't the university cancel class or order a lock down after the first shooting?

i uttered the same phrase in the same context not three minutes ago. :/

shitty buzz, kids!


Posted by Slylee on Apr-16-2007 19:18:

i'm sure all of that is easier said than done. it was all probably complete chaos and confusion.

anyway my mom just told me that my cousin is out there right now. she's FBI in VA.
