My hubby went to VT. How horribly sad. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and students.

I just read 21 dead and 21 wounded.
My prayers go out to all the students at VT and their families.

How completely horrifying! I agree with VAgirl18 - that's a long way to go without some serious thought.
I do think those role playing games don't help stop this type of situations at all!

They have shut down all Cell towers in the area. One of my coworkers is a Pike on campus so IM is his only form of communication he has right now.

This is so sad. I cannot believe someone would be sick enough to do this. Everyone at Virginia Tech is in my prayers and thoughts.

How tragic. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with everybody affected by this, and with our newest chapter of sisters.
I too flipped from CNN to FOX and was shocked by the insensitivity of that front picture on FOX. I can't imagine being a parent, looking at that picture and realizing that one of those kids was my son or daughter. I understand that this is big news, but they need to show some sense of decency here.
ETA: CNN, FOX and MSNBC all have the same picture now.... so it's not just FOX

MSNBC is showing pics as well (I'm watching their live coverage via the 'net) and some are of students very bloody and hurt (graphic). I hope no one is finding out anything about their child that way.
ETA: The one FoxNews has is one of the same ones that MSNBC had.

I have 2 friends that go there & they were in touch via IM this morning to let me know that they are alright. I'm praying for the students there and their families/friends.

My nephew attends Va Tech and we have not been able to confirm his or his girlfriend's safety..and if the cell towers are down...can you imagine all the parents who are definitely freaking out...trying to reach and know their children are safe!!
the death toll is now at 33..including the shooter...hopefully the ONLY shooter...how can that be?? If that distance is that far between the two spots...could it be only one shooter?
I hate this time of year...it always seems the craziness emerges..and it used to be just "protesting with signs..."
I pray for the entire Tech campus and those families whose children were killed or wounded...and pray that no copy cat nuts do this ...
