The gunman shot at least 50+ people.  30 killed (EDIT: now 32!).  This sets new record!


Reminds me of the tragedy in Australia back a few years ago. :(

Reminds folks here in Texas of the UT tragedy where the gunman had a high powered rifle up on the clock tower. Just tragic....,

There, now let's keep it on track folks.  This is not about gun control.  It is about a tragedy.  Innocent lives lost.

Same thing I thought.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Glad to hear you're OK Lancer.  My son is a VT senior and it took until around noon to hear anything from him.  His girlfriend is an engineering student so we were pretty concerned about that too since most of her classes are in Norris but both her and my son are just fine.

This is an absolutely horrific situation. The accounts coming out are saying that the kids were lined up and executed. It just seems so much more brutal that way. One moment you have kids learning and studying, trying to carve a bright future for themselves with education, the next they are just lifeless meat and bones. Awful.

The guy that performed this disgusting act had to be a clinical psychopath in my opinion.

Lancer, I neglected to mention before that I am glad to hear that you are ok.  I hope that none of your friends were caught up in this tragedy.
