Wow....... VT was one of my top 3 choices for college.

Scary. Hope everyone is ok, from what I hear, a lot of the dead students were engineers.

God have mercy on the students and faculty there. My prayers and thoughts are with the victims' families, and I hope that justice is finally delivered. I can't believe it either..

Gunman shot himself after killing the students.

Its columbine all over again.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

I'm just flabbergasted. I mean, I can sort of understand the things that drive high school students to this kind of violence, but I still have a rather idealistic view of college that the students there are on a higher level than all that bull****. I mean, I know that people still have emotional issues no matter who they are or what their situation, but this is just astounding.

That's why I said that I wish we knew more about the gunman. He may have come from off-campus for all we know; just some random psycho on a warpath to take people down before he killed himself. There would be a simpler perspective here if we knew where he came from.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

wtf they're interviewing some Columbine parent "trying to get insight" into how the families of the victims of this shooting might feel, and he's basically just going off on how the authorities withhold information and try to cover things up. I can't believe CNN thought interviewing this guy would be a good idea.

I'm still hearing 22 dead and 28 injured, so it's entirely likely that people are dying from their injuries.

Please don't post death guestimates.

Or make jokes about it.

Bad form, Moogy.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

I'm watching CNN right now. Still no word on the gunman. They said, though, that in August VT shut down when an escaped jail inmate killed a couple law enforcement officials and was in the area.

OMG CNN just showed footage of some of the shooting (but it might be police?) right now. I'm hearing that there are three gunmen. There were so many shots... I'm just... I can't believe this....

Those were cops buddy...

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

My bad. CNN made it sound like they had footage of the shooting itself. Looking closer, I noticed it was cops. Still hearing some confusing stuff about there being more than one gunman. Reports of a gunman being dead, in custody, on the loose... nothing really clear yet.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

At least 21 people were killed Monday in twin shootings on the Virginia Tech campus -- the worst school shooting incident in U.S. history. "Some victims were shot in a classroom," university police Chief Wendell Flinchum said. The lone gunman is also dead, Flinchum added.

Gunman is dead. Looks like there was only one.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

There was two shootings, and at least two-hour gap between them, on opposite sides of the campus. I find it hard to believe that nobody found this gunman in that period of time. There were numerous shootings in the area, and this guy had to reload several times if he wanted to kill so many people. There's still a possibility there was more than one.

Speculation is that the guy came from off-campus, yet he knew the buildings very well, apparently.

Re: At least 20 dead at Virginia Tech

That video by the student is the scariest thing I have seen in my entire life.

You can just hear gunshots. Can you imagine being in that building?
