Anyone around the AH community hear about the gunman loose on the Virginia Tech campus this morning?

My dorm is right beside the dorm where one of the shootings took place this morning.

Fox just reported that the gunman is dead. AP is saying 22 dead and the police are saying 20 dead.

From the article I read it sounds like more than one shooter. Apparently it started in two opposite ends of the campus. 20 dead? My goodness, what a freaking tragedy.

Wow. They are now saying that this guy was looking for his girlfriend. That he lined some students up and executed them one by one. If this is true it will account for the high death count. Very sad.

Consensus is currently saying 1 dead, 20 injured, based on a quick look through the news outlets (aggregated via Google):

as the news and what has been told to me by professors and authorities on campus is that it started at 7:30 at West Ambler Johnston, with 1 confirmed fatality.

2hours later at approx 10am the second shooting occured in Norris Hall, which is an engineering building containing classrooms, where aparently the gunman opened fire on a classroom full of students.

Looks like it WAS just one shooter.
