Shootings At Virginia Tech

Submitted: 4/16/2007 We are following the event of the shootings at this university. While we have no confirmation, there maybe a possibility that some of our members could be involved.
We ask each of you to keep all of these victims in your thoughts and prayers.

It's interesting that there was some earlier news about the shooter and his motivation, but the officials are saying that they can't positively identify him right now. (Partially because he didn't carry any ID)

According to a someone familiar with the layout of the Norris building, it's a really basic L shape with one hallway with classrooms all along it. The windows are too narrow to get out of. These kids were sitting ducks.

Kappa Kappa Gamma seems to be reporting that all members have been contacted.
As part of the Virginia Tech community, it is with great sadness that Kappa Kappa Gamma received the news of the terrible tragedy suffered on the campus of Virginia Tech. Our thoughts and prayers are with the student, their families, friends, faculty and staff.

Oh my God. I can't believe so many people are dead... and I hope with all my heart that my sisters are okay... I didn't start crying until I read that some ADPis may have been involved.

There was a shooting at my high school when I was a freshman and it was the scariest day of my life. I can only imagine how much worse this was.

I can't believe this is happening.

I feel awful. Not only because of what is going on but because I have sisters who are unaccounted for. I feel awful that that is what got me crying, when the whole thing sucks in the first place. I feel guilty for being more worried about my own sisters than everyone else who is unaccounted for.

I wasn't around a TV or radio much today. The 1st I heard was the 1 person was dead and a bunch injured. The next report I heard was that 31 plus the murderer were dead. I couldn't believe it!

I don't want to hear about his tortured childhood or anything else that puts any blame on anyone other than him. No one has a perfect life or childhood/adult experiences. For crying out loud, people, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!! If what another poster said was correct, he did this because his grades suffered after his girlfriend broke up with him?!? There are just no words for my outrage!

This is so upsetting. My HS sent a large number of people to VT with it's 2006 class. So far two of them have reported via facebook and said they're shocked but ok.

It seems they don't know much outside of rumors either.

Maybe checking your Facebooks, Myspaces, etc. would provide more information since the cell towers are jammed?

Has anyone heard a definite or consistent number of the wounded? I can't seem to find a stable number?
