This article was in our local newspaper this weekend. I thought that others may want to read it. It gave me some insight as to what really happened that day....

"We've been hurt," the voice whispered, terrified, into a cell phone.
On the other end of the line, Virginia Tech Police Lt. Debbi Morgan could hear gunfire. It was so loud that it sounded as if someone was shooting right into the receiver.
"Where are you?" Morgan asked, doing her best to stay calm.
"Two-Eleven Norris Hall," the voice said so softly that it was obvious to Morgan that the person did not want to be heard.
There's a shooting! 211 Norris Hall! Morgan shouted to two dispatchers. Happening now.
"Are you still there?" Morgan asked.
Silence.
Gasping for breath.
Pop. Pop.
"I can't talk," the voice said.
"Keep yourself safe," Morgan said. "We're sending people."
"Please hurry," the voice whispered.
