    Re: Shooting at Virgina Tech

    What I want to know is this (if what I read is correct):

    They say this guy went to the dorms and shot a person or a few people there. Then 2 hours later, went to the building where he shot a bunch of people in the classroom and did most of his damage.

    How the heck wasn't the entire area on lockdown after the dorm shooting? How did he get to the classroom area 2 hours later and do damage there?

    That part doesn't make sense to me (if true).

      The feds are reporting 32 dead, 28 injured, with 4 of those injured in critical condition.

      If those numbers are true, that means this guy potentially shot sixty people with two 9mm handguns and an ammo vest. Wow.

        Yes, heel, but WDBJ is on the scene and they're talking directly to those in positions who know. 22, IMO, is official.

          This is from Fox News. They say it's an unidentified guy:

            EXACTLY, that's what the FREAK I want to know.

              I cant find the article, I will withdrawal that statement until I can prove it happened at VT earlier this year. I know it happened at a large South Eastern college.

                That guy is confirmed as a reporter for (I think) collegiatetimes.com. Their managing editor said so on the news earlier. He was cuffed and then subsequently released shortly thereafter. I think once they found out the shooter was reported as an Asian male, they weren't taking any chances.

                  Oh man, I just watched the video and that was a lot of gunshots. I can't even begin to imagine how that must have felt like for the people there. My prayers go out to everyone in VT.

                  What I want to know is this (if what I read is correct):

                  They say this guy went to the dorms and shot a person or a few people there. Then 2 hours later, went to the building where he shot a bunch of people in the classroom and did most of his damage.

                  Same here. That's a long time for law enforcement to respond yet didn't. Simply unacceptable.

                        USF might have been referring to the incident where an escaped convict killed a sheriff's deputy? Just a guess.

                            Re: Shooting at Virgina Tech

                            I just got this message from someone in the area:

                            from what i've heard the school was on lockdown after the first attack at 7:15 which was in a dorm.

                            but then it was lifted and the gunman then went into a classroom. the student who captured the gunshots on his cell phone (you can see the cops outside and flashes of the gunshots inside the building) told in a phone interview that he went to campus at 8:30 or so and walked right up to the building next to where the 2nd shootings took place before anyone gave him a heads up.

                            yes, the first day of classes were cancelled in august for the manhunt, that individual killed a hospital worker and a off duty sheriff or something.

                            just got an e-mail, and this is secondhand, that it's up to 32 people now, the gunman was asian (i'd also heard that on cnbc), and that he was looking for his gf (i find that very hard to believe, again, just a rumor).

                              That's exactly what I want to know. This story first broke around 11am with one or two dead people, I did some more work, went to the gym for lunch, then got back and all of a sudden it was up to 30+ people? That's unreal.
