This is horrible yet i'm not shocked. It's a sad commentary on society.

Our Regional Managers son goes to Va Tech and I know we have a member on this board who has a son that goes there as well.

Coach Pants 04-16-2007 12:39 PM

I've read on a few blogs that the shooter was asian and used 2 9mm's and murdered the victims execution style.

Question: Would you do what this guy says after seeing him murder your classmates? I'd definitely try to communicate with my classmates and try to distract this guy by throwing a desk at him.

How terribly awful. :(

Cajungator26 04-16-2007 01:00 PM

Once again, we will have more questions than answers...so terrible! Apparently a single gunman at two sites three hours apart...many questions!

Reminds me of the Univ. of Texas shootings many years ago where the gunman shot all those people from the campus clock tower.

Terrible news and very frightening for parents who send their kids away to schools. I guess it can happen on any campus.:mad:

Downthestretch55 04-16-2007 01:29 PM

Now reported...31 fatalities.
I've got tears.

EpBurns 04-16-2007 01:30 PM

31 dead, apparently when the gunman got to the building that housed the classrooms he chain locked the doors of the building,,,,,what is this world coming to!!!

Well AP and CNN report 31 dead, two at Roanoke level one trauma center and four others in surgery at local hospital...29 injured total...some with broken bones from fleeing etc. Simply unbelievable that one person could do this...now the deadliest shooting incident of any kind in US history.

Very somber mood around here. This city lives for Va Tech (have seen polls stating 50% of Roanokes population are Tech alums)...many people walking with that dazed look in their eyes.

Very sad day indeed...

One of the girls they had on was saying she was going back home to Roanoke. How horrible! :(
