They're now saying up to 20 dead plus possibly a gunman.

Holy shit wtf is wrong with people these days?????
Sometimes I wonder if these psychos are into playing online role-playing games. What else could possess someone to go shooting up a campus?

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.

My prayers go out to all the students at VT and their families.

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...

Yes, VT is dealing with another gun-related tragedy. But, other than the fact that today's event happened on Tech's campus, this shooting and the massacre in 2007 can't be compared. The 2007 tragedy was a planned mass execution by a lunatic. Today's event appears to be an off-the-cuff type of thing. The fallen police officer had just pulled over the suspect for a routine traffic stop. I pray that today's victims are limited to the two already identified.
How sad and senseless. Thoughts and prayers to the victims' family and friends, and to the Hokie community.
