Sad part is only 1 person knows that story, and he was to much of a coward to stick around...... The Police will make their stoy based off evidence and statements from students, but we will never really know why he did this.

Thoughts & Prayers from Richmond to all students, faculty members, friends, and everyone else.... Such a terrible event... How could someone do this? .... Their motives are shot.

Re: All you VT people okay?
I HATE THE MEDIA, here is an IM i just got from an old girlfriend, her brother attends VT
A: My roomate was in one of the rooms, only one not to get shot
one of 2 survivors. He is getting calls from good morning america
B: fucking media is ruthless
A: Filed a police report... the police must have given that info, and they tracked him down to ask him about this shit
A: What a joke
A: The kid just had to pretend he was dead to survive
B: and they want to know if he wants to do an interview?
How fucking rediculous is that?

As per VT's website:
Two shootings on campus today have left 33 dead. Thirty-one, including the gunman, died at Norris Hall; two died at West Ambler Johnston Hall. Fifteen other victims from Norris are being treated at area hospitals.
The university is in the process of identifying victims and notifying next-of-kin. Names will not be released until that process is complete.
Counseling assistance for students is available at West Ambler Johnston and McComas halls until 9 p.m. tonight. Students are encouraged to utilize these services.
Counseling for faculty and staff is available in the Bowman Room on the fourth floor of Jamerson Athletic Center, accessible from Jamerson or the Merryman Athletic Facility.
The university will remain closed Tuesday. Essential personnel are to report for work. Classes are canceled.
A public gathering will be held Tuesday at Cassell Coliseum at 2 p.m.
All students are urged to contact their parents as soon as possible to let them know individuals are safe.
Students, faculty, and staff who have any information related to the incidents are encouraged to go to the Blacksburg Police Department to make statements, or call 540/231-TIPP (8477), or 231-6411.

If any of you are interested, there are two audio interviews on MSNBC.com with students that were in a German class where several students were shot. They describe the shooter and how he looked/composed himself.

Re: All you VT people okay?
I worry that several of my friends may have been in that particular building when it happened... Have been at work all day so I haven't been able to speak to anyone yet.
