I want to know how the gunman it from West Ambler Johnston, across the drillfield, and into Norris Hall. That's a pretty long distance. IMO, this was thoroughly planned. Then again, who would commit such a crime without thinking it through?
Update: 22 dead.

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

Another fraternity reports its VTech members are all okay:

"Phi Sigma Kappa News
Virginia Tech Tragedy
All Chapter Members Safe
To address this tragedy at Virginia Tech, I request that all chapters have a long and heart-felt moment of silence to reflect and remember those innocent individuals who lost their lives today.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the students and faculty of Virginia Tech, along with our new brothers and alumni of Epsilon Hexaton Chapter.
Please channel your sorrow and anger into positive paths during these terrible days. God bless.
Grand President Dave Spreitzer
Grand Council Directors
Executive Director Michael Carey
Please rest assured that all undergraduate members of our Epsilon Hexaton Chapter are safe and sound."

The 2nd shooting was over 2 hours later than the first.
BTW compare Fox News and CNN's front pages...
