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

Is there anyone here on GC who goes to VT? There's close to 60 GLOs there, aren't there?

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.

Whether they know or not, I cannot believe what the media is doing. I would not want bloody, dead pictures of my child or other loved one on the internet.
HC: I know we'd all like to hear something firsthand, but I doubt anyone there's first thought was "Hey, let me go post about this on GC". I'm sure we'll hear something in a few days.

The latest count is 32 dead. I can't even imagine how this happened!

They said on MSNBC about 40 mins. ago the university is in the process of contacting the parents whose students were injuried or killed.
Truly heartbreaking......
