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.

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.

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.
