I'm sorry...I thought of that after I posted. I was just thinking that you were looking for firsthand news.

All of my close friends and my cousin are accounted for. My concern now are high school classmates. I can't even fathom how VT is going to function in the coming weeks.

Three of my co-workers have children at Tech...it took all three forever to get in touch, they said all the cell towers were down, but finally were able to get in touch via email and IM. Luckily two had been sleeping, and one was on another part of campus. My cousin goes there and I haven't heard anything yet...still hopeful though. I'm waiting to hear back from her parents. Lots of other employees here are worrying about nieces/family friends/etc, also. Seems like everyone around here is close to someone at Tech. My heart goes out to all the families.

Fox News is reporting 32 dead. I am hoping and praying that there were not that many victims. Cardinal, please let us know when you find news about your cousin.

There is at least one Alpha Gam from VT who posts on here. I just can't imagine how these college kids are going to function through finals and things in the next few weeks.

The MSNBC control room just interuppted the newscast and stated that the 31 were verified deceased per federal officials.
Has anyone been listening to the description of the shooter and the reasons why he did it? I just can't believe the reasons why .
Everyone, hug your loved ones today and remind them how much they mean to you. You never know what the next moment may bring.

Finally got a quick "I'm okay" note back from my cousin...she is in a sorority at Tech and also on PHC exec, so if I hear anything more, I'll pass it along...more good news among co-workers with their friends also...still praying for everyone else.

I know there are a few people from VT on here (or moms/families of students at VT) and I hope everyone is safe. This is so horrible and scary that I don't know where to begin.
