April 16th Shootings at Virginia Tech Campus
I'm sitting here watching CNN as this story develops: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech.shooting/index.html
As I'm writing this I need to change my post title from "One dead, 20 injured" to "20 killed in shootings at Virginia Tech Campus". It was such a sudden jump and even the reporter said there was an audible gasp at the press conference and the question has to be asked twice. Yes, twenty dead.
As for the suspect(s) there are mixed reports... it used to be 1 suspect in custody and searching for another, but now it is felt this was the work of one shooter who was found dead in Norris Hall.
I'll probably update more later. They're about to show the recording of the conference...
Latest update:
After not following the story for a few hours the number of those dead has risen from 20 to 32, as well as 29 injured. The story keeps getting worse and worse, and after watching the latest press conference it looks like later we will get more information about the shooter (apparently a young looking Asian a little under 6 feet in height) and whether or not there was a second shooter ("a person of interest" who may have been involved at the first shooting scene).
I'll leave you to find more information from news sources... there's not much more to say... but so much left to ask.
My sympathies go out to the victims and their families, as well as all of those affected.
revolution this,
dazz.
