I graduated from VT not that long ago, so I know many people still on campus and have friends in grad school/work there now.
And i feel like I could honestly get sick at my stomach right now plus am deeply saddened by this. I know of one person who was shot in the arm and have heard from someone who was in AJ seeing the victims taken out of the building.
I just happened to be working from home today and have been sitting in front of the tv (unable to work) all day.
Virginia Tech has always been the safest of areas and you feel completely at ease in this very close knit area.
I just don't understand how someone got killed in AJ and crossed that large amount of space then entered norris hall. The drillfield is an open expansive area that you must cross across to get from the dorms to academic buildings.
This had to be planned and it is very strange that there have been multiple bomb threats in recent days.
And many have spoken about the cell towers being down, these are not shut down. These are just overwhelmed right now to the point that they shut down. (I work for a large company in this industry) we have worked for many years trying to get more towers in the area and on other campuses. When the morva thing happened the same thing happened with the towers. this is a major problem that we have tried to address with them.
