Re: VA Tech Shooting - 4/16/07

TAKE ALL INFO HERE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. I'M JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A BETTER PERSPECTIVE


My mom checked me out of school today. All of Montgomery County schools were locked down, but we're able to get out slowly. My classmates are still in school. One of my buddies is on the rescue squad and he got word that 31 were dead. The official number is 22 (21+shooter), but I just heard on the radio that there are 32 (including the shooter).

It seems that the shooter shot two people in the dorm in the morning, yet classes continued as usual. In roughly 2 hours, he traveled across campus to one of the Engineering buildings and entered and opened fire in two classrooms. A instructor (not clear if it was a TA or a professor) is believed to be among one of the victims.

I have many friends and aquaintances in the engineering department. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Not a great way to come back from Atlanta...
