Terrible Shooting at Virginia Tech
 
There was a terrible shooting today at the Viginia Tech campus today. So far there are 22 people reported dead, including the shooter.

Pray for the victims and their families.

Sad news, the most terrible is that we never know exactly why he do this? (some witness says he was looking for his girlfriend).

Bah, I feel all the more awful since this is a supposedly happy day for me (I got good news and it's a good freind's birthday) - but this, as always, dampens and puts things in perspective.

:(

Four days short of a Columbine anniversary, too.

Ah, yes, Virginia. My home state. Why is it when we get into the international news it's always because someone shot off with a gun or at the mouth? Last good news to come from here was the election of Jim Webb.

Very sad and horrible.

Death toll at 32 from what I now hear.:cry:

News like this cuts so much deeper when you have someone you care about in a school just like that. :down:

As I linked to, they were banned from campus.

Initial video (cell phone). Note reports of multiple incidents on same campus.

Very sad.

Watching it now, 32-35 dead. Apparently, the man only had a 9mm pistol with alot of ammo. He lined them up and gunned them down. Terrible. :nope:


And for christ's sake! Can we keep the pro/anti-gun crap out of this? Make your own thread!:down:

Make another? Besides, that went a little off-topic, if I remember correctly.
