Oh Jill, my heart aches. This is unspeakable. I'm so very sorry.

What a senseless, horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to everyone who knew the victims in any form.
Jill, I hope you and everyone else are taking care of yourselves. I'm so sorry that this happened and that you saw it.

My cousin who is a graduate of JMU Alpha Phi posted about this morning. I am heartbroken for her and you and all other Alpha Phis and people she knew.

This is so horrific. Multiple news outlets are reporting that the suspect filmed the incident himself and uploaded it to his (now suspended) social media accounts. He WANTED people to see this. Disgusting.
During a stand off with police, he shot himself.

So sorry you had to see this Jill.

I had a feeling she might be Greek.
So heartbreaking.
I can't help but wondering if Adam, the cameraman, was enrolled at VT freshman year as well. They said he graduated from there, so if he attended all 4 years, it's likely he lived through the VT shootings, as he and I are the same age and it happened during my freshman year.

The shooter has died and his long suicide note is disturbing. It makes you wonder what else can set someone off...

This is just horrific and all over our local news.

She was described by the JMU faculty as one of the best.
So very sorry.
ETA: More local coverage.

So terribly sad, so terribly horrifying. My sincere sympathy is extended to the friends & families (greek and blood) of both Allison and Adam.
