Hi, sorry to just poke my head in and make a few quick comments.

A friend of mine Pastors a church in Blacksburg and the campus minister (also in my denomination) is a friend of his. He's asking the Christian community for prayer as they do all they can to help the community. None of the members of his church were killed, although the killer fired shots through the door into the classroom of a teacher in the congregation. Apparently she had the presence of mind to ask students to lock and barricade the door when they heard shooting in the building.

BTW- AP is reporting that the killer was a Chinese man from Shanghai who arrived in the US on August 7, 2006 on a student Visa. No ID released yet.
