FYI, many posts are being moved to the other "discussion" thread in off-topic, so some replies may be disjointed.

I'm looking forward to hearing REAL information instead of misinformed guesses from various sources.

i talked to my friend who goes there..he was listening to the police scanners the whole time. his take on the story is: Guy catches girlfriend cheating on him..guy shoots girlfriend, and RA (the ra saw him shoot the girl) then guy goes across campus to kill the guy that she cheated on him with. except now the reports are saying there were 2 gunmen. so no one really knows what has truely happened at this time

so far 33 reported dead, and 18 injured. its scary knowing that Tech was one of my top choices for college this fall...

I'm going there next semester. It should be interesting to say the least.

still no leads as to why he even killed the girl muchless the whole building of people, my guess is going to bo got into a fight, with her things got outta shot her and the RA was killed to cover his ass, but when he noticed what he had done came up with a plan to take out a lot of people and make a name for himself before he killed himself.. so he used the 2 hours to plan an attack and get to the 2nd building where he just went crazy on people for no reason.

from the offtopic post.

Its still a great school. I love it here regardless of what happened today. This shit could have happened anywhere. I mean...last year Amish kids got shot up. Would you have ever thought that would happen....EVER?

VT will most likely be one of the most secure campuses in America after this all settles down. Security should be the last of your worries if you plan to attend there in the future.

True, but on the contrary, you would think that after the incident last semester.

I'm still in shock that it happened. Virginia Tech has always felt like a very safe place to me.
